Publisher's Summary:
Miranda "Munch" Mancini has seen the worst of times, but she's still looking for the best. A recovering addict and auto mechanic, she's now a single mother and a fledgling businesswoman trying to run a limousine service. But being her own boss means she can't afford to turn down a client, even when a seedy government type offers her big money to drive around a foreign businessman... The problems start when Munch promises to hire Ellen, an old friend fresh out of prison, as a driver. Next thing Munch knows, though, her friend, her client, and her Cadillac are missing in action, and the police are at her door. With the custody of her adoptive daughter on the line and Ellen's life in Jeopardy, there's nothing Munch won't do to help her pal, police detective Mace St. John, solve the case. But if there's a brutal murderer on her trail, what can Munch do - which won't get her killed - to stop him?

Dark, Grim and Rather Depressing
A lot of seedy characters who are ex-addicts or current addicts, and a very grim life even for the main character "Munch". Sadly, the author, Barbara Seranella passed at only 50 in 2007 waiting for a liver transplant...She had run away from home at 13 and led a very wild life! I think the characters she wrote about are probably some she actually met in her real life. It's a mystery but it isn't a page turner. I was curious to see how things would end but it wasn't a very good read. Or maybe I just found the whole storyline depressing and dark.
Munch continues to entertain
UNWANTED COMPANY is the third in the series by Barbara Seranella featuring her "bad girl" heroine, Miranda "Munch" Mancini, 70's drug addict and hooker, now seven years into going straight after her debut in NO HUMAN INVOLVED. It's now 1984, and Munch is still an ace auto mechanic, but with a limo business on the side to help bring in money to support herself and her daughter Asia, the latter "acquired" during the last episode, NO OFFENSE INTENDED. In the first novel of the series, Munch had a refreshing antisocial edginess that colored her efforts to steer clear of a murder investigation being conducted by LAPD detective Mace St. John. By the following thriller, Munch had mellowed considerably, though still finding herself in compromising situations most law-abiding citizens never encounter. In UNWANTED COMPANY, Munch is almost a model citizen as she helps an older and wearier St. John catch a serial killer, with ripples involving the CIA, a shady Romanian, and some loose plutonium. Our heroine's continuing display of an improving social attitude remains a mild disappointment. However, in this thriller, the author compensates by introducing us to one of Mancini's old pals, Ellen, just out of the women's correctional institute and still feeling ambivalent about giving up illegal substances and turning tricks. In any case, Munch gives her a job as a limo driver, upon which Ellen wastes no time dragging her employer and the Caddy into St. John's latest case. Ellen is strangely endearing as she ricochets from one risky situation to another with more concern for her appearance, wigs and make-up kit than anything else. I hope Seranella invites her back in future offerings.
