The Perfect Suspect, by Nancy Sweetland

theperfectsuspect

Twice divorced and wary about relationships, Jen Wright buys a cabin in far north Wisconsin to get away to plot her next novel. She doesn’t expect to find her first ex-husband shot dead in the bedroom. A note in his pocket declares, “J set me up.”

And she doesn’t expect to be attracted to handsome Deputy Ross Tyler, recently rejected by his fiancee. Like Jen, he’s unwilling to risk his heart again.

She’s the perfect suspect, and blustery Sheriff Sturge isn’t going to let her forget it. When the murder weapon is found in her van, he’s even more convinced of her guilt. Jen soon realizes she’s actually living the best plot ever . . . but unless she can uncover some answers, she may have to write the story from jail.
