Well he didn’t sound thrilled but didn’t even denied her to come here in Paris and all she was not aware of the place she thought would offer her an escape from the chaos of her life was about to pull her into a far darker, more dangerous web as she didn’t find Ben anywhere even in his posh apartment. What happened to Ben?
“The Apartment is too quiet. The kind of quiet that feels like it’s listening.”

It’s not just what people say, It’s what they don’t say that matters”
 Lucy Foley in her novel builds suspense through subtle interactions. As the novel is character study, wrapped in tension, sealed with mystery as all the neighbors residing in the apartment are not just side characters but feel like curtained windows– you sense something behind, but you can’t see through. Every character is a riddle and it’s as thrilling as unravelling the final mystery.

Lucy Foley, this time with her novel The Paris Apartment intrigued people with an exciting step forward in her storytelling, as this work is quite away from her signature style, more of classic mystery, blending characters with slow burning suspense.
“The people are easier to manipulate , when they think they are in control”
This line is low-key terrifying, like she’s subtly hinting at something deeper, a message to the readers that an even bigger twist is waiting to unfold later in the novel. Lucy Foley, is really good at keeping readers thrilled, and the final twist would definitely made the readers rethink the entire book.

If you are really into slow-burning thrillers with character driven mysteries and clever twist that rewards patient readers, You are holding the right book as this is a real page-turner.
