Maybe I shouldn't compare but this book felt flat after "The Guest List' which I felt was so strong. The ending felt rushed and anticlimactic. However, overall I liked the structure and thought the suspense was well written.

Very solid read — a lot of maybe predictable twists and plot points that still felt solid and satisfying despite seeing them coming . Unlike a lot of mystery books , this one didn’t have a huge chunk of exposition from 40 to 100 pages into the book. You’re thrown into it and given little tidbits of context along the way which is more how the newcomer experiences the mystery - and it’s a hell of a lot more entertaining than just having each character give you their side of the story flat out.

You’re neutral then you like then you hate then you understand then you like a lot of these characters which is a very fun way to experience them.

The Paris Apartment by @lucyfoleyauthor was an interesting and at times confusing but overall intriguing read.

PROS:
💻The twist left me with lots of theories, but I still didn’t see the exacts of that ending.
📝I stayed on the edge of my seat trying to play detective
💻That apartment building was described perfectly. I want to live there.
📝The Concierge
💻The fact I didn’t like anyone and wasn’t rooting for anyone, BUT I still just HAD to know.

CONS:
📝The jump from POV to POV every chapter and the movement from memory to present was just a lot. It added more to the confusion than helping lead me to the truth.
💻There are some extremely heavy topics. Smex trafficking and forced smex work is something that will never get easier for me to read.
📝Not enough cat content

🐱🐱🐱🐱 out of five bloody kitten paws for the way that ending had my jaw on the floor
