4.5 stars.

The Paris Apartment is a gripping, page-turner of a read. I was hooked and didn't want to put it down. Fast-paced, with a narration style that reveals only limited information, it's an edge-of-your-seat read.

The construction is really well done. The chapters are short, with quick vacillation between POVs. The characters are clear and easy to keep track of. There are a lot of good twists and turns and everyone is a suspect. They're all a bit neurotic, some more bothersome than others, and the atmosphere is fantastic for upping the tension.

There was a lot more that could have been done with the second to last big twist, so I was a bit disappointed in how quickly it was more or less brushed over, but as a whole the book was a lot of fun to read.
