Laurie Whitman rose from the dead and has a second chance at life. Has her long journey towards normalcy and healing ended before it's begun?

Cole Baxter's "Prime Suspect" revolves around the story of Laurie Whitman, a survivor of domestic abuse. The character has remarkable growth; her journey is well detailed as she slowly heals from her past. With the help of therapy and two memorable supporting characters, she finds her strength and purpose. Her road to recovery is shaken when she discovers that her husband and abuser, Devon died in an accident. However, it was a case of arson. Haunted and troubled with his own demons, Blake Gramercy, a private investigator and ex-police officer, has been funded by a secret client to investigate Laurie, who is a prime suspect. Blake plays by his own rules and soon realises that things are not what they seem. They realise that their lives are in danger as they inch closer to the truth. The dual POV's drive this story which works in getting to know the protagonists better. There were a few repetitive moments, and the ending was predictable. It was more of a thriller than a psychological thriller. A 3.5 star read.
