My Review of
Blurb
Sometimes, even after death, revenge carries on. Targets remain targets. People
will die.
From the grave, one man's will delivers the directive. Kill George Redman. Kill Leana Redman. Kill every Redman. Finish the job, crush them all, do it swiftly, rob them of their hopes, steal away their dreams.
In Park Avenue, the sixth book in the hugely popular Fifth Avenue series (Fifth Avenue, Running of the Bulls, From Manhattan with Love, From Manhattan with Revenge, A Rush to Violence), the heat boils over as characters from each book collide in a single collective nightmare.
For the Redmans, the problem is that this one man, long since deceased, is not alone in his quest to see them dead. Others are conspiring against the Redmans, which leads to a punishing series of events as they fight for their lives.
Park Avenue, which skewers New York society to its core, is the most complicated and satisfying thriller yet by #1 international best-selling novelist, Christopher Smith.

My Review
The most difficult thing for a reader to do is to begin
reading a series without having read the prequels, but that was not the case
with Park Avenue. Christopher Smith carefully weaves a fast paced tale of
mystery and suspense while offering just enough backstory to allow a new reader
to feel fully vested in the characters and their plights.
The plot twists and edge of your seat thrills kept me
turning the pages, while the occasional splashes of humor had me grinning from ear
to ear. Mr. Smith delivered a fantastic tale of intrigue and revenge while keeping
the story believable.
I quickly became a huge fan of the two assassins, but still
found myself rooting for a positive outcome for the Redmans. Social standing,
riches and fame are wonderful, unless you're a Redman on Park Avenue.
Although this was my first time to read Christopher Smith,
it will not be my last. I've jumped on board the Smith train!
