Bookseller recommendation
“Her brother Ben may not have been delighted by Jess’s news that she was coming to stay with him, but he had given her the address and told her just to buzz when she arrived and he would let her in. But now he is missing. His wallet is still there, however, and Jess notices other troubling details. As she searches over the ensuing days for clues to what might have happened, the secrets of the inhabitants of his apartment building are gradually revealed, and Jess, suspicious of everyone but recklessly courageous, learns the truth of what happened to Ben. Foley tells this intriguing story through the alternating voices of Jess and the buildings’ inhabitants, masterfully building our knowledge of each through their own voices. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll - and money and power. This page-turner has it all!”

Summary
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"As you patiently await season two of Only Murders in the Building, cozy up with Lucy Foley’s latest whodunnit." -- Parade
"Exceedingly clever." -- Booklist
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.
