About the book-
No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen’s new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind.
As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who comfortingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story . . . until the next day, when Ingrid disappears.
Searching for the truth about Ingrid’s disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew's sordid past and into the secrets kept within its walls. What she discovers pits Jules against the clock as she races to unmask a killer, expose the building’s hidden past, and escape the Bartholomew before her temporary status becomes permanent.
My thoughts-
It's always nice discovering new to you authors in genres you love. This is the first book by Riley Sager that I have read, but it definitely won't be the last. I am picky about my suspense novel authors, but I really liked this book. There were a few things that happened that I found predictable but there were a few nice twists. The story moved along at a fast pace like suspense novels should with short chapters and page turning content. I felt I had a good picture of the Bartholomew from the authors vivid descriptions. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspense novels.
