The book is not what it seems. A Parisian detective wakes us handcuffed to a musician from Dublin, in Central Park, NY. How they got there, seemingly overnight, and why, are questions they set about finding the answer to. There is no question of going to the local police as the Parisian finds herself covered in blood though she herself is uninjured. Also, she is carrying an unknown gun. They decide to find answers on their own.
There follows a set of adventures of discovery and mystery, with a complete twist at the end that is totally unexpected.
I gave this tantalizing thriller four stars, for the plot alone.
New books from Netgalley, to be read:
Genre: fantasy
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality.
Genre: police procedural set in Northern China
Only Inspector Lu Fei, living in exile in the small town, seems interested in justice for a murder victim.

I loved Midnight Library. A bit of a spoiler....so skip the next paragraph if you haven't gotten to the end....
ReplyDeleteIt was a good reminder that we shouldn't spend our lives wishing for what we didn't get, as that might not work out as well as what we have.
I think I'd read anything by Matt Haig after I read Reasons to Stay Alive. I'm waiting now to read his latest nonfiction, Notes on a Nervous Planet.
I like the look of Thief of Souls, too. Interesting setting.
I read another review on Central Park a couple of days ago and tried to get an eGalley but, it had already been released I guess. I'll check at some point if the library. Glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping I'd like Midnight Library a bit more than I did. It was good but could have been better IMO.
ReplyDeleteI need to read my copy of The Midnight Library...and soon I will read Thief of Souls, as I have the NetGalley ARC.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books, and thanks for sharing.
These books are all new to me, they look great! Hope you enjoy your upcoming reads! Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat assortment of books! Thief of Souls is on my stack too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteCentral Park looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteThe premise of Central Park sounds unusual
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
Sounds like some good reads lately. Central Park sounds intriguing! I've been wanting to read The Midnight Library for a while....I'm on my local library's waiting list. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
