Skulls and Coffee

Love Ann Rule-read her books through high school. I also didn't date or hang with boys-thank you Ann Rule! It's been a while since she's released a full size book so when I saw this on the return cart I was interested.
 
Basic synopsis is that a man was found dead in a new yellow Tracker on the small island of Whidby in Washington. 10 years later, five states later; cops and prosecutors finally get both their man and woman. 
 
The story here is a bit convoluted and there's a feeling that despite knowing at the end of the book who did it-motive remains elusive. You're left with a vague feeling that the wife initiated the murder. However, there's no evidence at all to support that supposition and the case has an empty ending.
 
It seems like it's a case full of people-victim, perpetrators, family involved-that are dark, broken, hurt, and almost unlikable to some degree. 
 
Not her best work and not something I could recommend unless you're an Ann Rule Fan
