One of the best books I have read this year - or any year. The tone constantly changes in this book full of surprises. Gwen, Gisele and Zivi are truly unforgettable characters. I had love/hate relationships with all three of them. One minute I was in love with one or the other of them only for that love to turn to hate and vice versa. I've never known such an emotional rollercoaster.
The plot is tense and taut; overflowing with shocks and surprises; and the very best black humour played out to perfection. The dialogue is as crisp and to the point as anything written by Raymond Chandler.
There's nasty old-fashioned gangsters; Keystone-style cops; and plenty of legal skullduggery making the many serious issues tackled in the story far more palatable.
An absolute joy to read.

I enjoyed this thriller, I was trying to figure out which Character I liked throughout this whole story. But I enjoyed this plot because I have never read anything like it.
Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the ARC in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

A New York public defender's baby is kidnapped in Central Park. A Bosnian former drug dealer whose partner lost a newborn suddenly has a daughter. But not is as it appears ...

As the police search for the missing baby, we learn the back stories of the three main characters. There are several twists in perspective that totally change the reader's opinion of the situation. And the ending is surprising, if overly neat and tidy. Overall, A Kidnapping In New York is a good thriller with well developed characters and a very different plot.

Central Park, New York City. A newborn baby is snatched, in broad daylight. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare!! Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, kidnapping, mystery, heartbreaking, and a few crazy twists and turns. The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
