The Bone Vault (Alexandra Cooper, #5)

The Bone Vault sees ADA Alexandra Cooper of the New York Sex Crimes Division in another case with her side kick detective Mike Chapman and, his becoming more remote partner, Mercer Wallace.
On a trip over to New Jersey at the request of a party host Cooper discovers a body in a sarcophagus which was being transferred between museums for a joint show. Whilst that is totally expected the body is usually a Mummy but this was a fresh body of a young woman.
The investigations, often hindered by the aloof museum hierarchy, gets under way as Coop and her side kicks try to get their killer.
It's the usual stuff from Ms Fairstein, whose books I quite like, which includes the usual niggles; namely that the police can't do a thing without Cooper getting involved, particularly suspect interviews, deciding on lines of investigations and Chapman's awful character. However Chapman, who Fairstein obviously thinks is funny BUT ISN'T, was actually noy annoying thins time and his little song about Clem the Eskimo WAS funny.
I like Mercer Wallace better but he taken to a more and more withdrawn role, which is disappointing, so much so that he and Chapman hardly seem to work together anymore.
There's Copper's usual trip to her holiday home on Martha's Vineyard as well as her long distance love life with Jake the TV Reporter. However we all know that one day her and Chapman will end up as an item if she gets her way.
Certainly worth a read and it's a decent series that I intend to keep reading.
