2.0 out of 5 stars Careful - Mercedes Coffin and Cold Case are the same book, 1 Oct 2008
By Silvia888 (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
The pace is a bit slow, but an enjoyable read nevertheless.
Careful though, Amazon is offering this book with A Cold Case in a duo, they are the same book with different titles!

3.0 out of 5 stars Double M.O. Triggers a Cold Case Investigation, 11 Oct 2008
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Mercedes Coffin (Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus Novels) (Hardcover)

When the police see a crime that's unusual, they check their records to see if there are any other similar crimes. When the details match, they often find that the same person was responsible. Career criminals frequently repeat themselves. What's rare, however, is when 15 years separate the two incidents. What does it mean then?

That's the question that Lieutenant Peter Decker faces when the LAPD is offered a large reward for finding the murderer of a well-beloved teacher, Bennett Little (Dr. Ben to many of his students), that occurred 15 years earlier. To make matters a little simpler (or more complicated?), Decker's daughter caught the squeal on the second murder.

From there, the book settles down into a slow-moving police procedural where you have to keep track of all the connections among the various people to make sense of the mystery. Even then, the results may seem a bit speculative until just near the end.

Normally, I like the slow unpeeling of the onion in a police procedural, but this one just didn't do it for me. Several parts of the story didn't ring true, even after thinking about them for a few days after I read the book. The characters who were introduced just for this story didn't always ring true to me either.

If you don't want to take a chance on this book, there's nothing of series significance that happens. So you have the option to skip this one, even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool Faye Kellerman fan.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mercedes Coffin (Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus Novels) (Hardcover)
Just a word of warning - 'Cold Case' and this book are the same story with different titles. Thanks to the other person who has put this also - I nearly bought it!
