And it turns out it’s a front for a club that provides sex services from women of human trafficking. We do get several hints that there is more to Jacques’ wine business. I honestly just didn’t care about any of the family members’ perspectives and was more engaged with Jess for sure (even though some of her actions were murky too). While Jacques is an absolute horrible person and father, Nick just didn’t warrant much sympathy for me. It appears we were supposed to not trust Nick but also feel a bit sorry for him. You also would think that Nick would have his suspicions about Ben knowing he’s a journalist, right? Or maybe he thought Ben did have feelings for him? Ben did seem to take advantage of Nick’s crush and use him for sure. If Ben knew just exactly what type of business Jacques ran and how toxic he was-why did he want to stay at the apartment? Characters Did you see that reveal? I thought it was interesting and surprising.īut it also left me with plenty of questions too. I was floored! I did not see that coming at all. Sophie, married to Jacques, is stepmother to Nick and Antoine, and Mimi is her daughter. Unlike most mysteries, where we wait for the big reveal until the climax or even the very end-we learn fairly early on that the other people living in Ben’s apartment (Sophie, Mimi, Nick and Antoine) aren’t just random tenets but they’re actually a family and this is their house. OK, spoilers, here on out! Reminder, if you haven’t read the novel yet, come back here after you finish it. The other tenants of his posh apartment aren’t revealing anything.
She plans to stay with her half-brother, Ben, but he’s nowhere to be found. I felt it was missing the strong character development of her past novels.įirst, a quick synopsis: Jess leaves behind London and arrives in Paris in hopes of a new start. I enjoyed her previous novels ( The Hunting Party and The Guest List) so I was a bit let down by this one, to be honest. As I mentioned in my above content, I thought The Paris Apartment as ok overall.
