Meditative Rose by Lynn Gravbelle

Emily Fields is brutally murdered in her home. Her partner of ten years, Carla Reed, is accused and the police department think they have the right woman. Detective Kerry disagrees with them and calls in her former partner, Private Investigator Paula Graham, to work the case. Paula lost her partner of thirty years and the new relationship that she had with Elizabeth has just fallen apart. Now torn between her own losses and the case, Paula follows the dark side of Emily's family and friends through the twisted world of jealousy and betrayal to find the truth.
