4.0

The Paris Apartment is an interesting thriller. While I quite enjoyed it, there were issues with the pacing - it lagged greatly in the middle - and the overall plot was a little spotty. It's also a thriller that would not necessarily hold up on a reread, as the major plot twist completely changes the entire story. It was a good thriller, if a little confusing. The ending wrapped up almost too quickly, and there were several questions at the end that went unanswered.

I loved the book! 
Very fast-paced. I loved how you could read the character's different perspectives and how they were feeling—slowly discovering the truth! 
And so many plot twists! 100% recommendable for a mysterious, fast-paced book!
