The Mercedes Coffin
Faye Kellerman
Mystery
This book is for the determined reader. At first the book starts off slow, but the book picks up pace a little as the book goes on so determination pays off. This book is about the murders of Dr. Bennett Little and Primo Ekerling, separated apart by 15 years. When multi millionaire Genoa Greeves decides to open up the old case of Dr. Little, Detective Peter Decker is put on the case. Detective Decker suspects there might be a connection between these two murders. While investigating, Decker mostly finds dead ends but still finds some traces of evidence connecting the cases. With his wife Rina, his detective daughter Cindy and his partners Scott and Marge all help him solve this case.
In a book review of The Mercedes Coffin the reviewer is a fan of the series, but views this book as a disappointment and “a complete bore”. She went on to say that if she did not have to review the book she would have put it down after the first couple pages. I completely agree with the reviewer, where I also found this book very boring. It was a very slow moving book with barely any action. The conversations dragged on and it was not exciting at all. This book was not a page turner and after reading for a while I really did not care who did it anymore. I gave this book a 3 because of its lack of excitement and action, and the fact that it is an extremely slow moving book. This book will probably make you want to put it down after reading the first couple pages.
