A Criminal Mind

Rose Nichols's husband Mark is shot to death while walking the dog one night. When Rose learns what's happened, she's shocked but not sad. Mark used to beat her so much that she started drinking as a coping mechanism for their fractured marriage. Detectives Cooper and White are put on the case. Cooper believes Rose is behind her husband's death, while White suspects it was the privileged assistant general manager at the health club Mark managed. The deeper they get into the investigation, the more complex it becomes and the stranger Rose acts. Her erratic behavior makes her seem so guilty even White agrees she must be the perp. Unfortunately, no hard evidence points to her, only at the assistant GM. Cooper and White are at a loss-who killed Mark? NOTE: A CRIMINAL MIND is a stand-alone murder mystery with no explicit sex and little violence.
