The Mercedes Coffin

De: Faye Kellerman

Narrado por: George Guidall

A cold case turns red hot, threatening to consume detective Peter Decker and his wife, Rina Lazarus in the spellbinding new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.

Billionaire genius Genoa Greeves never got over the shocking death of her favorite teacher, Bennett ""Dr. Ben"" Alston Little, murdered execution-style and stuffed into the trunk of his Mercedes Benz. No arrests were ever made. Fifteen years later, the high-tech CEO reads about another execution-style murder. The case is eerily similar and Genoa offers the L.A.P.D. a substantial financial ""incentive"" if justice is finally served.

Lieutenant Peter Decker resents having to commit valuable manpower to a fifteen-year-old open case. Still, the recent murder does bear a disturbing resemblance to Dr. Ben's case and Decker can't help but wonder about a connection. Decker's team of investigators includes his newly minted Hollywood detective daughter, Cindy Kutiel, while wife Rina Lazarus continues to be his backbone of support. Rina's worries and fears begin to build as past and present collide with a vengeance, catapulting an unsuspecting Decker closer and closer to the edge of an infinite dark abyss. A relentlessly gripping tale spun by a master, Faye Kellerman's The Mercedes Coffin races through a dangerous urban world, where truth and justice are fine lines between life and death.

Mercedes Coffin

I really like this author, so mainly I enjoyed the book. Over all a little slow.

Another Great Read

As usual Mrs. Kellerman has delivered "another great read". Her storytelling has kept me engaged to the point that I could not stop listening. The investigation and tying together of facts as well as the re-evaluating others made it impossible for me to stop listening. This audiobook is the first thing I listened to in the morning and the last thing that I heard at night.
I would recommend this audiobook to anyone, without hesitation.

Another Kellerman, just like the other ones ...

I found the story was a little long. I felt that some good editing would have been beneficial. However, having said that the story is true Faye Kellerman and therefore does not disappoint if this is a style that you enjoy. Good narration which certainly assists the reader to keep listening.

The Mercedes Coffin

Loved it, ending was a surprise, looking forward to the next book in the series.

Wonderful people - Decker and his wife and family

I really enjoy Faye Kellerman's writing and her characters. I enjoy them as people; they're ethical and real. This story is as gripping as the others. I wish only that there were more of her books that were unabridged on Audible. I only read full versions.

Great Book

Good narrator and good story line.I liked the characters also.
One good mystery. Keeps you guessing.

Great story awful narration

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I woul recommend this story despite the awful narration

What didn’t you like about George Guidall’s performance?

The narrator has an emotionless dis interested style of narrating , it is really distracting from the story

Any additional comments?

It's a great story as always ,well written by Faye Kellerman it is such a shame Australian listeners can not listen to the whole series

Solid Kellerman effort

The characters are enjoyable and funny. Decker (the main character) is charming and carries the story along with a fair amount of humor and coolness. The story itself isn't the most complicated, but it is an entertaining read (listen) and you'll want to follow it to the very end.

Not bad.

This Peter Decker novel is a little different in that there is just a little about his family or his Jewish traditions. It was a light summer detective novel...not great, but not bad.

George does it again

Great story brought to life by great narration
If you love Decker novels this is really fun
