Quite a surprising twist, but the twist is unexpected because the plot is so unconvincing. All characters are overdramatized like in a soap opera. The male protagonist is irrational and lacks common sense. The female protagonist is way too reckless provided her experience. The romance is superficial. The cops are easily persuaded. Sometimes people act like they have nothing to do except for supporting the protagonists. Maybe Central Park is an okay-ish romantic book (and it is not even that romantic, the romance material does not appeal to me at all), but it is definitely a detective bummer.
