The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
After getting fired from her job, alone and broke, Jess scrapes together enough cash to go to Paris where her brother Ben lives. He wasn't thrilled to hear that she was coming to stay with him, but he didn't say no. But when Jess arrives, Ben is not at his apartment and in fact is no where to be found. When he doesn't turn up, Jess starts to dig into his life, and soon discovers that the other residents of the building all have something to hide.
Meh. Not as good as The Guest List, Foley's previous book. The author is good at building suspense but the story is very slow moving and not that interesting. Jess is jumpy and paranoid all the time and often acts like an idiot (more so than most characters in books). Read The Guest List or Clare Macintosh's The Last Party instead if you're looking for psychological suspense fiction.
