“Just a great, easy and sometimes funny book.”
Holly’s review: “The Paris Apartment is exciting from the get go! There is so much intrigue, it leaves you desperate to find out what happens next. The story focuses on a sister who comes to Paris to visit her brother, only for him to go missing. Her relentless dedication as a sister not to give up and find answers lands her in some pretty dark and dangerous situations. It’s a REALLY good book; a real page turner and exciting right to the end, of which there’ll be no spoilers here!”
Reader review: “This multi-volume Saga follows the Clifton and Barrington families from the early 1920’s to the present day. These books are totally unputdownable. Once you have read the first you have to immediately read the rest, one after the other. The best series of books I have read and I read a lot. You will not be disappointed.”

This was the book that got me back into reading, I was totally immersed and have the author’s next 2 books lined up. This was a great mystery – phenomenal suspense – and the ‘mum-guilt’ was so relatable.” 

Frederik Backman The Winners book cover
