The Case Has Altered, by Martha Grimes
SPOILER ALERT
When love interest Jenny Kennington becomes the suspect for two murders outside his jurisdiction, Scotland Yard Superintendent Richard Jury convinces an eccentric amateur detective to pose as an antiques expert to gather information in series mystery THE CASE HAS ALTERED. The more details gleaned, the guiltier Jenny appears, and Jury’s mood turns bleak as the North Sea fens where the murders occurred until a stray remark helps him solve the crimes. But victory loses its luster when Jury learns that, for Jenny, proving her innocence falls far short of his having believed her innocent all along.
