Don't miss Lucy Foley's new book, The Midnight Feast, coming June 18th!
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Told in rotating points of view, this Tilt-A-Whirl of a novel brims with jangly tension – an undeniably engrossing guessing game.” — Vogue
""[A] clever, cliff-hanger-filled thriller."" — People
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List comes a new locked room mystery, set in a Paris apartment building in which every resident has something to hide…
Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there.
The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it’s starting to look like it’s Ben’s future that’s in question.
The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge
Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they’re not telling.

Book in itself is very entertaining, full of twists and surprises. Very complex storyline with all loose ends perfectly tied up in the end. Writing is not on par with the best writers though, even if handling of the plot is. Characters are, as in all Foley’s books, immature for their respective ages, and astonishingly self-centered, that I do find somewhat bothersome. But I just HATE how the english speaking world narrates audiobooks. Minus 10 stars for that. They make them into little plays, instead of just reading them, kind of stealing the actual reader (audio book listener) the right to imagine things. I really would like to continue listening to books in english too, but as all these books just make me angry (bc of awful narration), I think I will have to stop, to preserve my mental health. Like, in this one, the main character has a strong british working class accent, and that in itself would make this incomprehensible to anyone who does not posess perfect english skills. It’s also rather tiring to listen to, hour after hour. Then the french ladies have really ridiculous french accents, even when they are thinking to themselves, which I’m pretty sure they actually do in french and not in english. So why make an awkward false accent there? Really uncomfortable.
