The Paris Apartment was a great quick read for me despite it being a bit slow in the beginning. I think that what kept me going was me really trying to be detective and pick up on any clues, and so I felt invested in that sense. The ending was satisfying, and while I had my guesses on who did it, I have to say that some elements did catch me by surprise — maybe I just need to read more mystery, though. Something I did appreciate was the way Foley constantly made me rethink who did it, and the multiple POVs certainly helped. Overall it was a good read, but certainly a bit flat in the beginning.
