Under suspicion novel, 6

Laurie Moran and Alex Buckley have been happily planning their wedding and honeymoon, preparing for Alex's confirmation to a federal judicial appointment, and searching for the perfect home for their new life together. But then Laurie is approached by Robert and Cynthia Bell, parents of Dr. Martin Bell, a charming and talented physician who was shot dead as he pulled into the driveway of his carriage house five years ago. The Bells are sure that Martin's wife, Kendra, carried out the murder. Determined to prove Kendra's guilt and win custody over their grandchildren, they plead with Laurie to feature their son's case on "Under Suspicion," ensuring her that Kendra is willing to cooperate. Kendra has lived under a blanket of suspicion since Martin's death, with the media depicting her as a secretive, mentally unstable gold-digger. Laurie's show is a chance for her to clear her name. But unbeknownst to the Bells, Kendra has already refused once before to go forward with a re-investigation of her husband's murder, and her statements to the contrary only add to the appearance of guilt. But once Laurie dives into the case, she learns that Martin wasn't the picture-perfect husband, father, and doctor he appeared to be and was carrying secrets of his own. And what does the web of lies ensnaring the Bell family have to do with a dangerous stranger, who gazes at Laurie from afar and thinks, "She is actually quite a lovely girl, I'm sure she's going to be missed"?--, Adapted from jacket
