The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

3.0

---

I don’t read mystery thrillers too often, so I didn’t go into this with too many expectations. It’s a genre I’ve been wanting to give a chance to for quite a while now, so I decided to give this book a go after seeing it all over bookstagram. It was a pretty easy read, so it was nice to pick up during my spare time. With that said, I found it a bit too slow for me. When I first picked up the book, I found it very interesting because I was curious to see where the mystery would take us but as I kept reading, I felt like the plot wasn’t really making any progress and it felt like it was being dragged on (which may have been why it felt like such a fast/easy read). The last 60ish pages are when I felt like things were finally moving again. The book also didn’t really give off thriller vibes for me but that being said, I did really enjoy the mystery aspect to it and as loose ends were being tied off, I did find myself with my jaw dropped to the ground because I hadn’t expected things to go the way they did.
