When Jess arrives to stay with her half-brother Ben, she finds his flat empty and his neighbours evasive. As she digs into his disappearance, she uncovers a building full of secrets, suspects, and lies. Perfect for fans of locked-room mysteries and unreliable narrators, this hardback edition is a must-have for any crime and thriller collection. About the Book: Jess is broke, homeless, and in trouble. Desperate, she turns up unannounced at her half-brother Ben's Paris apartment, only to find he isn't there — and that something is very wrong. His neighbours in the beautiful, crumbling building are all hiding something: the glamorous but brittle woman upstairs, the wealthy and charming man on the second floor, the alcoholic ex-actress next door, and the concierge who seems to know more than she's letting on. As Jess digs into Ben's disappearance, she pieces together secrets, resentments, and dangerous pasts connecting everyone in the building. Told through shifting perspectives, Foley builds tension with every chapter, layering red herrings and revelations until the truth finally breaks. The Parisian setting is rendered in vivid, atmospheric detail, contrasting the beauty of the city with the claustrophobic menace lurking behind closed doors. Thematically, the novel explores family loyalty, class resentment, and the masks people wear to hide their true selves, giving the mystery genuine emotional weight alongside its twists. Fans of Foley's previous bestsellers, The Guest List and The Hunting Party, will recognise her signature style of ensemble casts and slow-burn reveals. It is a gripping read ideal for holidays, book clubs, or cosy nights in. Key Benefits: Written by Lucy Foley, the
