The Paris Apartment
by Lucy Foley (£14.99, HB, HarperCollins)
As far as destination whodunnits go, Lucy Foley is fast becoming the thriller reader’s go-to. Following the success of her last novel The Guest List, set in Ireland, this time we find ourselves in Montmartre, Paris.
Local resident Ben has gone missing from his beautiful apartment, and when his half-sister Jess turns up to visit him, it seems everyone has a reason for his disappearance. Told from alternate characters’ viewpoints, this clever story shows how we can all be a mystery to one another. For fans of the golden age of crime writing.
