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.

Fast and gripping read. Quite creepy at times and a bunch of not very trustworthy characters, everyone has a secret. Definitely kept me guessing until the end

A wishlist RABCK going to jax987654321

Thank you for sending me this book as a surprise RABK. I am going to Paris in April and have planned my visit to coincide with the Paris meet up (coaches allowing!), so I will aim to read this and take it with me. (lots of the Paris bookcrossers read in English!)

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller and I definitely did not guess who had done the deed. I did find the chopping and changing of narrator a little annoying at times, however it didn't bother me unduly. I did think the ending was pretty unlikely however, albeit clever.

released at the London meetup and I believe was taken to the station bookshelf
