This book was a little more of a forced read. It didn’t really get interesting for me until 3/4ths of the way through. None of the characters were very likeable and all pretty shady which left me without someone to root for. I did appreciate the way it read & having several different characters perspectives - it added to the mystery and left you questioning what was really true.

We follow Jess, who left her life in England to live with her brother Ben in Paris. When she arrives to Ben's apartment in Paris, she notices he disappeared, he isn't returning her calls and left the apartment without his wallet. So, she is convinced that something happened to her brother, and she won't stop until find what it was and where he is. She must start on his brother building, which seems to be full of weirdos. 

Unfortunately, is full of French bias, not because they are French are all promiscuous or are sexually driven... Mixing mystery with sexual content was definitely not my ally. With a big variety of personalities, I imagine a murder and identify the killer from the beginning, so most of the time I was really confused with all the sexual content, that for me was not necessary at all... Nevertheless, I didn't expect the twist at the end...

I loved this book!! The first half was a bit slow, however it was very entertaining. There were some uncomfortable moments, but as a whole it was a great read. So many twists and turns. I also really liked the main character, she felt very real. If you like murder mysteries, I HIGHLY recommend this book!
