Central Park
by Guillaume Musso
Alice wakes up on a bench in Central Park handcuffed to a strange man. Just the night before, Alice had been partying with three friends in Paris, so how did she end up in New York? The man she is handcuffed to, Gabriel, says he is a musician and was playing with his band in Dublin the night before. He is also clueless as to how he ended up in New York. Alice is a police detective in Paris and quickly realizes that she must contact her partner, so she and Gabriel steal a cell phone. When she reaches her partner, she asks him to check security camera footage in the garage where she parked her car, at which point, her memory of events ends. She and Gabriel must acquire transportation so they steal a car and try to figure out how they will get some cash.
The premise of Central Park is fascinating, and the story constantly keeps the reader guessing as to how this whole situation occurred and who might be responsible. Clues and red herrings are parceled out throughout the book, making it impossible to tell who Alice should trust. In the last few chapters of the book everything is revealed, leaving this reader feeling let down and unimpressed. Although the first 3/4 of the book are riveting, by the end, this story seems like a waste of time. Not recommended.
