I am one of your hosts, 30 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:50.680 Sarah Burton. 31 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.000 I am one of your other hosts, Shanna Scrabis, And 32 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.280 we've got Claremorris joining us, she says eminently.

So, for example, Johanna, 41 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.199 why do we read this one? 42 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.039 Well, Sarah, the reason we read it was it was 43 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:33.400 a recommendation from Noah, our friend and listener. Okay, okay, 44 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.599 Noah says, hello. I first want to say that I 45 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.240 recently found your podcast and have quickly fallen in love 46 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.879 with it. Great start, Noah. It's so funny to hear 47 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.199 so many people agree with me on books that have 48 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.159 such quote critical acclaim for a future episode. I would 49 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.280 like to pitch that you read The Paris Apartment by 50 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.520 Lucy Foley. It is one of the worst books I've 51 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.879 read in the past two years, and I cannot fathom 52 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.400 all caps how this book was published and then Lucy 53 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.960 was then granted the opportunity to write more. It's a 54 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.400 sexy murder mystery meant for adults but written by a child, 55 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.199 no character exposition, a piss poor understanding of class dynamics, 56 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.319 and just an odd book overall. I hope that this 57 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:20.360 email fis all of you. 58 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:20.719 Well. 59 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.520 I can't wait for your next episode.

And then 69 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.479 she and our friend Andrew just kind of like stopped. 70 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.360 And Andrew's like, I'm sorry, I don't I'm not trying 71 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.759 to stare at your breasts.

It 77 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:27.680 wasn't always like that. 78 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.120 For me, it seems normal now, like of course you'd 79 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.040 put a pencil there where? 80 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.279 All right? All right, Well, so we just found out 81 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:42.040 Noah recommended The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley. So how 82 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.759 did you guys read it? How'd you consume it? 83 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.319 Oh? My goodness. So first of all, you should know 84 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.480 that The Paris Apartment was a pleasure read for me. 85 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.160 I have been reading Lucy Foley long before she ever 86 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.839 came on the Meme book club scene, long before the 87 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.759 guest List. I found her with Stag Party, loved her then, 88 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.439 even though she clearly has issues with old friend groups 89 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.800 in a way that bothers me deeply, It's all. 90 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:09.160 That I have. 91 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.040 And yeah, did this is? I was like, I was 92 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:14.720 like one of the freaks. So it's like I knew 93 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.240 Lucy Foley's coming out. 94 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:17.040 Let's go. 95 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.600 I got it right from the library. It was said 96 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.639 it new fiction right on the side new fick. 97 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.959 Is this because of she did like an Ireland one. No, 98 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:26.959 that's Sarah like. 99 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.240 She No, she did Ireland. That was the book that 100 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.079 was that was the guest list that we bought the 101 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:35.959 wedding on the Irish Isle. 102 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:37.439 Yeah. 103 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.279 Yeah, So Lucy is returning to the cast, which is 104 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.360 never great for an I never want to come back 105 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.199 a second time. 106 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.240 But yeah, but here we are here she is so 107 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.639 so then I guess the question remains, how did you 108 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:52.240 read it. 109 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.600 From the library like a booker audio or you know? 110 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.920 I don't. I guess I do audio books not my 111 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.879 real life. I do them for this cast what I 112 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.639 don't know. But in my real life, I take time. 113 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.360 I save her. I read a real book, I turned 114 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.680 the little pages, I look at the cover. 115 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.000 Okay, okay, okay, okay, it's just a real book. 116 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.160 Oh my god, I book I did an audiobook. But 117 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.000 I also just feel like I don't remember, since this 118 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.319 isn't going to be as fresh for me. 119 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.560 It's interesting for anyone that's crazy you don't remember. 120 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.639 And then she took the turn as if it had 121 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.279 to be like, why don't you have me go while 122 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:29.920 you look it up? 123 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.120 Thank you for a second. 124 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.399 Thoughts together. It was an audio book. I had the 125 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:41.399 audible you know subscription going already from the season the 126 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.399 you know sunk costs fallacy. I think I'm using that correctly. 127 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.199 Since I'm paying paid for it, might as well keep 128 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.079 fucking paying for it. 129 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.279 Okay, I realized I found it. I did do an audiobook. 130 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.879 I did it from the l A Public Library, which 131 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.480 I have for you. Uh. I should not have a 132 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.360 card too, but I pretended to be my sister in 133 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.639 law so that I could get access to the LA 134 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.720 Public Library. 135 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.079 This is insane because here's the thing. They both have 136 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.439 the same name, law the same name. So I'm putting 137 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.519 together that you must have posed your sister in law 138 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.519 and like shown up at the library with your ID 139 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.120 and been like, I lost my card and I needed 140 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.160 to issue me a new once. 141 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.920 Well, they let me kill out the form and stuff, 142 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.800 but they only gave me a temporary one and they 143 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.800 said we'll send it to your address, which, of course 144 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.160 I gave them my sister in law's address. So then 145 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.319 I had to keep asking her if she received, if 146 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:41.360 she received any. 147 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.240 Stole her identity and then he like followed up. 148 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.120 And then she did and I didn't go get it 149 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.480 in time. I didn't realize that they then made you 150 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.160 you had to do another step to confirm your identity 151 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.199 based on something they send you in the mail. So 152 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.360 I so I took too long to go get it, 153 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.879 and then I had to go back and restart this 154 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:11.160 huge weighting. But we got it. We're good now. I 155 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.959 am the other Sarah Bird. 156 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.720 This is really horrifying abuse of the library, which only 157 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:19.399 tries to do nice things for people. 158 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.040 You had to like, did you have to like take 159 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.920 one of her like utility bills to be like. 160 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.439 No, no, okay, because they send it. They send you 161 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.159 something the mail, which is like a code or something, 162 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.240 and then you have to send that coach to email. 163 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.000 And I didn't realize there wasn't it going to be 164 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:36.679 another step. 165 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.080 You probably like. 166 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.440 Had to show them your ID with your driver's license 167 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.480 and be like, this is my old address.

And she goes to 305 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.320 Paris to visit her half brother Ben, and they've been 306 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.159 sort of a strange since childhood. And she shows up 307 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.080 at his apartment building and oh my god, he's not 308 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.639 in his apartment, which is weird because they have plans 309 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.759 to meet. And then the story then just takes place 310 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.039 inside that apartment building and we start to meet these 311 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:31.679 other characters, and there's a question of like, what happened 312 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.559 to Ben? Has he been murdered? There's a big bloodstain 313 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.679 on the floor. Every character in the whole building is 314 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.240 super suspicious and creepy, and it seems like they're all 315 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.200 sleeping with Ben, even his best friend. So it's basically 316 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.960 her investigation then of where did Ben go? 317 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.799 Do that? Right? Yeah?

Sure I don't remember, 332 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:48.960 but yeah, maybe he was. 333 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.200 And that's why it was so surprising that he was French. 334 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.880 In the French family with the dark haired people, I. 335 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.559 Would fail in Paris so hard as a human being. 336 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.200 Are you basing that on this book? 337 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.839 This book? And just like what I know of French people, 338 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.000 like they just seem like they're kind of a classier. 339 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:13.240 Better intimidating perhaps, Yes, give. 340 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.400 Me a little bit about this book. It was a 341 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.519 March twenty twenty two New York Times bestseller. Numero uno. 342 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:20.759 Wow. 343 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.480 The book was named one of the most anticipated books 344 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.240 of the year by Goodreads, which you know what that means. Uh. 345 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.440 I hate to say this, John, but I noticed you 346 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.000 didn't link to that New York Times bestseller. 347 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.920 No, no, no, it is a bestseller. I looked, I 348 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.200 saw the listing myself. 349 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:38.799 I was confirmed. 350 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.440 Okay, great, okay, so we have to trust your memory. Yeah, 351 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.359 because you didn't link to it. But that was just haste. 352 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.039 Not it was haste not Given what's happened earlier in 353 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.039 the season, I would have thought you would have wanted to. 354 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.880 Have it, what be double checked and find out we're 355 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.920 fucking wrong again? I don't think so. Why don't we 356 00:18:58.200 --> 00:18:58.440 move on? 357 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.799 All right? Good keep going? 358 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.920 It was called a quote good bet read another strike 359 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.440 against it in twenty twenty two. Basically, I guess immediately 360 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.839 Pump Publication three thousand Pictures, a division of Sony, purchased 361 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:17.440 the film rights, and I just read an interview with 362 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.680 Lucy Foley April twenty eighth, twenty twenty five. It's now 363 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.079 been shifted to a TV project instead of films, so 364 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.799 it seems like it's still happening. 365 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.119 Maybe so they're just make it last longer. I don't 366 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:30.599 see it. 367 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.119 All right, Yeah, I don't know that there's enough here 368 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.079 to be I think she might have said something like, yes, 369 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.039 I'm such a big fan of only murders in the building. 370 00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:44.119 It's like the American version of this very story. Yeah, no, 371 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:49.240 they're different. But I found out from a Goodreads reviewer 372 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.839 that this kind of book is called a locked Room Mystery, 373 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:54.759 which I thought was really cool and at first, I 374 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.839 wondered if that was because it was all set in 375 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:01.319 this apartment building for the most part. She does leave 376 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.720 it occasionally, but it is mostly set in this apartment building. 377 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:05.640 But I found out a locked room mystery is a 378 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:10.680 type of crime where the crime in question, typically murder, 379 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.880 is committed in what appears to be a locked room, 380 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.039 where the perpetrator would not be able to enter the 381 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.440 crime scene, commit the crime, and leave undetected. 382 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:25.720 So that's a cool I'm confused because, oh, I guess 383 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:27.920 I don't want to give away the twist or I 384 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.039 don't want to go into the twist. Sorry, I yeah, 385 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.200 I think so. You're right, there was there is a murder. 386 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.440 But throughout the book you are assuming that Ben was 387 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.960 murdered in his right. 388 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.279 But like, I don't know that it was impossible for 389 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:45.960 the perpetrator to enter the crime scene because we'd ever 390 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.960 like see the actual crime till the very end, we 391 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.440 don't know. 392 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.960 But it wasn't the door locked when Lucy, like it 393 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.039 was the thing where it was like the whole room 394 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.079 was locked from the inside when Ben went missing, right, 395 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.920 he gets taken out through a like fire place. 396 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:05.279 That must be it all right, all right? 397 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:07.720 Yeah, I'm gonna it's to. 398 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.240 Pay attention to the details. 399 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:20.240 I might not remember. But okay, okay, all right, keep looking. 400 00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:24.599 I'm gonna defend this nameless good reader to the death. Okay. 401 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.599
