"I" is for Innocent by Sue Grafton

Finished on 8/4.

The initial murder is pretty gruesome - a woman is shot in the eye through the peephole in her front door. Her husband is charged with the murder but is acquitted. Five years later, her first husband still believes that the guy did it and wants the case reopened - going for civil penalties because of double jeopardy.

The first private detective on the case has a heart attack and dies and Kinsey enters the scene. She finds odd discrepancies in the original detective's investigation and a vast cast of potential murderers.

In a scene rather similar to the dumpster scene in "A," she does blow away the bad in the end.
