Books by Lucy Foley
“I was deliberating which Lucy Foley to choose…The Invitation is slightly different. There’s a bit of Sleeping with the Enemy in there, the film with Julia Roberts. A haunting, unsettling vibe. It’s very glamorous, and I love the location. Lucy’s such a beautiful writer. When you read her chapters, you’re suspended in Rome or in Cannes, at one point. Then later you’re on a beautiful yacht in the middle of the sea. Unlike the others, it’s a love story.” Read more...

The Paris Apartment
by Lucy Foley
If you haven't read any Lucy Foley before, they're always good, pacy mysteries, somewhat similar in structure and style. The Paris Apartment is a good one. Part of the attraction is that it's set in Paris. The two main characters (siblings) also feel more real or perhaps are more touching than in her previous bestsellers (The Hunting Party, The Guest List).
