Marie has been long overdue for a visit with her friend Ana Alvarez. Being Big Rock, Colorado's, Chief Detective, a personal life, let alone a vacation has not been an option. Marie puts her detective life on hold to explore Ana Alvarez's artistic life in Greenwich Village, New York. Like any good hostess, Ana offers Marie the chance to sight-see and tour the Village. While in Central Park, Marie examines the detailed work of cast iron flowers on the Gotham Bridge. Little did she know that detective work wasn't going to leave her alone on this vacation, as she spots a body in the bushes below the bridge. Marie, not being from New York, notifies the local authorities and joint task force - FBI, NSA, and NNSA - but will she be able to solve this mystery murder in Central Park?
Stanley Yokell has written two other mysteries prior to The Body in the Park. Even if readers are not familiar with the other two books within the series, The Body in the Park can be read alone and easily understood. The story plot and character identities, dialogue, and scenes within the book are skillfully written with great detail, giving a familiar and realistic feel. The book welcomes readers who enjoy an intriguing, mysterious, problem-solving type of story.
