In Fairstein's 15th Alexandra Cooper thriller (after Night Watch), Alex and Det. Mike Chapman try to find the killer and identity of a young woman whose corpse is found in one of Central Park's lakes. As they try to work out whether the case is connected to earlier deaths, another young woman is attacked. The park itself becomes one of the main characters in this thriller; Fairstein discusses the history and topography of the magnificent, human-made landscape. Narrator Barbara Rosenblat makes the novel come alive by giving the characters their own nuanced New York regional accent.
VERDICT Recommended for all crime thriller fans and patrons, especially those who are fascinated by Central Park and its environs.
