A Song for You by Betsy Thornton

Rachel Macabee's life has been unsettled since her mother, Annie, was murdered when Rachel was a child. Now grown and married, Rachel suffers from panic attacks and nightmares about her youth. When a body is unearthed in Dudley, Arizona, where she grew up, it may give her the chance to finally put things right. The body turns out to be her mother's best friend, Wynn Wykoff--and it looks as though he was killed at about the same time her mother died--seventeen years ago. Rachel and her husband, Scott, decide to hire detective Brian Flynn to try and find out who killed Wynn and Annie. At the time, Annie's boyfriend Kurt Dickens was tried and acquitted for her murder. Rachel believes Kurt was innocent and would hate for him to be arrested again for Wynn's death. Chloe Newcombe joins Flynn in his investigation, having just left her job as a victim's advocate for the county's Victim Witness Program. Chloe and Flynn have their work cut out for them--finding the files and witnesses from a case almost twenty years old. Hopefully they can find justice and peace for Rachel..... A Song for You is the fifth book in the Chloe Newcombe mystery series. I like this series because of the great sense of place for the artsy town of Dudley and the liberal, free-spiritedness of Chloe's character.
