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.

Contemporary mystery fiction gained a major international presence with modern locked-room murder mysteries like The Guest List and The Paris Apartment, which draw on classic whodunit traditions while featuring multi-perspective narratives and atmospheric settings. British novelist Lucy Foley transitioned from a career in book publishing to writing bestselling historical fiction and suspense novels, selling over five million copies worldwide. Her mystery thrillers have earned positions as No. 1 New York Times, Sunday Times, and Irish Times bestsellers.
Born on August 16, 1986, in Sussex, England, Foley attended Westbourne House School in Chichester and Portsmouth High School before studying English literature at Durham University and University College London. Before writing full-time, she gained broad industry experience working as a bookseller, literary agent's assistant, literary scout, and fiction editor at publishing houses including Headline Publishing Group and Hodder & Stoughton. While working as an editor, she wrote her debut novel, The Book of Lost and Found (2015), drafting portions of it in a garden in Tehran, Iran. She followed her debut with historical novels including The Invitation (2016) and Last Letter from Istanbul before shifting to contemporary murder mystery thrillers.
Foley's transition into mystery fiction produced acclaimed titles beginning with The Hunting Party and continuing through The Guest List, which was selected for Reese's Book Club, named a Waterstones Thriller of the Month, and nominated three times at the British Book Awards. Her global research travels have frequently provided writing environments for her books: she wrote The Hunting Party while living in Iran, completed The Guest List in an Airbnb in Paris—where she was inspired to write The Paris Apartment—and plotted The Midnight Feast after trips to England's West Country. A lifelong fan of Agatha Christie, Foley also contributed to Marple, an authorized collection of short stories featuring the detective Miss Marple.
Foley's mystery thrillers regularly revolve around isolated or glamourous settings with dark pasts, high-tension social gatherings, and ensemble casts harboring hidden motives. She constructs narratives around reunions or celebrations that take dark turns, such as a remote island wedding in The Guest List, an exclusive Parisian apartment building in The Paris Apartment, or a midsummer resort gathering steeped in local folklore in The Midnight Feast. Developing her stories through multiple viewpoints and non-linear timelines, Foley explores themes of secret histories, group dynamics, betrayal, and gothic suspense.
