| Review Quote* | "Another clever, cliff-hanger-filled thriller from the author of The Guest List." |
| Review Quote* | "Told in rotating points of view, this Tilt-A-Whirl of a novel brims with jangly tension- an undeniably engrossing guessing game." |
| Review Quote* | "Another page-turning thriller in which the story and its characters are as unique and beguiling as the city itself. … [Foley] keeps readers on their toes with a fast-paced story in which she does a stellar job of juggling the past and the present with multiple narratives without getting bogged down. You can feel the urgency in her prose. … A thrilling read." |
| Review Quote* | "A transcontinental whodunnit with chic panache, this page-turner will keep you up into the wee hours of the night." |
| Review Quote* | "The streets of Paris have never looked darker, more opulent, or more sinister than in Lucy Foley's gloriously twisty new novel." |
| Review Quote* | "Extremely evocative, with a richly-drawn atmosphere you can cut with a knife. Short of a trip to Paris, the next best thing is surely to settle down with a bottle of French wine and devour The Paris Apartment. The mystery revolves around an exclusive Paris apartment building, and Jess, our hugely likeable heroine, searching for her brother, who is missing from his apartment. The other tenants all have secrets to hide, and twist follows twist until you don't know who to trust -- or suspect. Stylish, suspenseful, claustrophobic and menacing... Lucy Foley just keeps getting better and better. More, please!" |
| Review Quote* | "The Paris Apartment is a charged, charming thriller that'll have us all eyeing the neighbors a bit skeptically, no matter where it is we live." |
| Review Quote* | "If you binged Only Murders in the Building, then this book sounds like it may be right up your alley." |
