Dark Waters (Five Star Mystery Series) (Macy Adams Mysteries)

Tiny Evelyn Browne, not quite five feet tall, has been charged with the murder of her husband, Mitchell, a scientist of much greater stature. On meeting her, Macy Adams, the investigator hired by her lawyer, finds it hard to believe that toy-sized Mrs. Browne resorted to violence. Yet she's been indicted and awaits trial, and the evidence against her is impressive. Her husband's frequent and blatant philandering has embittered her marriage and given Evelyn a powerful motive.
