Jess is headed to Paris to visit her half-brother Ben in his new apartment. When he isn’t there to pick her up, she makes her way to his place, but he’s not there. He knew she was coming and when and said he’d be there. What’s going on? Once she finally manages to get into the apartment, no one is around, but something feels “off”. Wealthy Sophie and Jacques live in the penthouse; introverted 19-year old Mimi and her outgoing roommate Camille are on the 4th floor; Ben’s apartment is on the 3rd; Ben’s friend Nick lives on the 2nd floor, and alcoholic Antoine and his wife, Dominique are on the 1st floor. An older woman, the concierge, lives in a shack on the property. POV switches between many of the different characters. The book “grabbed” me from the start. It was hard to tell who was telling the truth and who wasn’t, as well as who might be an unreliable narrator. Everyone had a secret. Had a twist at the end, as well as one about half-way through. As with Foley’s other books that I’ve read, I really liked this. Excellent book on CD with several narrators covering their characters well! From the start you're engaged and trying to figure out "who done it". The Author makes the characters rich in character and the interfaces between them complex and interesting. The plot and story are very creative and constantly unexpected things emerge. I really didn't want to give this even the three stars that I did, and I honestly didn't want to finish it, but I held out to see what happened to the main characters. So even though it was formulaic and most of the characters were horribly uninteresting, there was enough of a surprise ending (that other readers here mentioned) to make me stick with it. I don't think I'll be looking to read anything else by her, though. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

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. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Puede que Jess haya venido a París para escapar de su pasado, pero empieza a parecer que es el futuro de Ben el que está en duda.
Todos son vecinos. Todos sospechan. Y todos saben algo que no están contando.
