Central Park West: the unmissable debut legal thriller of the year

Product Information

will be tried for murdering her estranged husband Antonio "Tony" Burke, the former governor of New York. And, surprisingly, from a new male author, women are the primary good guys (Nora, Jessica, Carmen, Kyra) and integral to the plot. Horticultural Faux Pas (plants out of season or growing zones, like daffodils in autumn or bougainvillea in Alaska): NO But I had to look up the garden-like Pomander Walk to see if it was a real place.

Carleton eventually convicts the hitwoman in court, and in the process Burke appears to have been exonerated. If anyone knows anything about working for the US District Attorney's office along with the SDNY and the FBI, as well as its most innerworkings, it's Comey. Comey injects the personal into his thriller and keeps us coming back for more – as much to follow what his characters are up to as to find the solution to the mystery. Of course, there are a couple of twists - rather predictable twists, really, but still exciting and entertaining, nonetheless.I would not expect Comey to pick up any book prizes for Central Park West any time soon, but there are worse things in life than writing an uninspired book. Now, Comey has moved into writing fiction and hoped to make a splash, ending up on the New York Times bestseller list and away from a place above the fold. It’s very well executed: the characters are richly detailed, the dialogue is impressively realistic, and the plot is genuinely suspenseful…. A powerful narrative that moves at a swift pace, balancing courtroom drama with the underlying investigative prowess, proves to be the cornerstone of this great piece.

Carleton’s supervisor, for instance, is a Puerto Rican lesbian who is described as a “ball of energy and humor. James Comey combines his insider knowledge of every level of the justice system with a natural storytelling voice to create a winning debut in Central Park West. I admit to curiosity to see what the infamous James Comey, former director of the FBI, could come up with in this genre. Drawing on James Comey’s thirty years in federal law enforcement, Central Park West is a fast-paced thriller, bursting with tension and authenticity – perfect for fans of John Grisham.

S. attorney, he tells the guy, “Look, I could give a shit where you put your dick, but I’m guessing your wife cares. Comey was a registered Republican for most of his life, but has recently described himself as unaffiliated. Many thanks to the publisher, via NetGalley, for the opportunity to dive into a pre-release copy of this one. This is a psychological drama about whether the justice system will work properly (is there a “nexus” or we can’t prosecute even though we have a pile of evidence? the characters are set up, we learn about the murder of a promiscuous governor and his accused ex-wife, Kyra Burke, now on trial, as well as a mob boss and other shady, unscrupulous people.
