Rina and Peter are now married with a teenage daughter, and the murders continue as does the series. The immediate setting is Los Angeles, but unraveling the mysteries often goes beyond the southern California boudaries. The Mercedes Coffin takes us into the underworld of the Hollywood rap scene as two similar murders -- one dating back 15 years -- are being investigated. A fun read with likable characters who have become familiar to me over the years.]]>
