Synopsis:
Welcome to No.12 Rue des Amants
A beautiful old apartment block, far from the glittering lights of the Eiffel Tower and the bustling banks of the Seine.
Where nothing goes unseen.
And everyone has a story to unlock.
The watchful concierge
The scorned lover
The prying journalist
The naïve student
The unwanted guest
Something terrible happened here last night.
A mystery lies behind the door of apartment three.
Only you – and the killer – hold the key . . .
My reading experience:
Firstly I would like to thank the author, publisher and Netgalley for my free ARC.
Foley has mastered the craft of suspense and shivers down your spine and this book is the evidence. I’ve enjoyed several of her other works and what is refreshing is that they do not all follow the same formula. So as a reader I found this unique – chilling, suspenseful and unputdownable.
An apartment block, secret hiding places, several less than honest characters, and a missing person. I felt I warmed to some of their traits, was repelled by others. With hindsight I feel like I should’ve known but just like in real life, we don’t always see what is right in front of us.
I highly recommend this new tale from Lucy Foley, once again.
