Right from the beginning you know as a reader that something bad has happened. Jess is hunting for her brother in a foreign land and doesn't know who to trust but she is dogged and determined to figure out what is going on in the apartment building her brother was living in. The ending was a surprise and wrapped everything up nicely. ( ) Jess necesita un nuevo comienzo. Está arruinada y sola, y acaba de dejar su trabajo en las circunstancias menos ideales. Su hermanastro Ben no parecía muy emocionado cuando le preguntó si podía quedarse con él durante una breve temporada, pero no le dijo que no, y Jess piensa que las cosas se verán mucho mejor desde París. Solo que cuando llega (a un apartamento muy agradable ¿realmente puede permitírselo Ben?) él no está allí. Cuanto más tiempo permanece desaparecido Ben, más comienza Jess a indagar en la situación de su hermano y más preguntas tiene. Los vecinos de Ben son un grupo ecléctico y no particularmente amigable. 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. 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. 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 |
