June 13th: The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
\nJ ess needs a fresh start. She's broke and alone\, and she's just left her j ob 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 did n'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 affo rded this?) he's not there. The longer Ben stays missing\, the more Jess s tarts to dig into her brother's situation\, and the more questions she has . Ben's neighbors are an eclectic bunch\, and not particularly friendly. J ess 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. Th e alcoholic. The girl on the verge. The concierge. Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they're not telling. (A dapted from Book Jacket)
