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.

"Foley turns up the creep factor and expertly plays with our preconceptions to make this an involving follow-up to her 2020 best-seller, The Guest List." - Air Mail
"The Paris Apartment is cleverly and intricately plotted, told from several different points of view and occasionally moving forward and backward chronologically. This gives readers just enough clues to allow them to try to solve the mystery while continually pulling the rug out from under them so they remain off-balanced and surprised.

"An atmospheric thriller wrapped in a mystery, lots of mysteries. ...

I recommend The Paris Apartment for fans of this genre who especially enjoy being in the dark for most of the book and quite surprised at the end." - Florida Times-Union
"Foley is the master of the slow reveal, and gives a little bit at a time to lead up to the big reveal. You never quite know what to expect, which makes the plot even more exciting. This well-written and entertaining read is perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Agatha Christie, and Foley's previous books." - Mystery and Suspense Magazine
