| Marissa Cooper jilted Slade Montgomery at the altar four years ago. Marissa thought it was best for them both. Slade is a detective for the New Orleans police department and she is a public defender. They were like water and oil with the exception they only mixed together in the bedroom. Marissa later married Peter Assiymov on the rebound, not knowing that Peter's brother is a drug lord. Peter wanted a divorce and Marissa did not fight it, as she still had feelings for Slade. Marissa was sick of defending clients that were guilty as sin and she became Assistant D.A. for New Orleans criminal system.
Marissa went home to the discovery that her ex-husband had been killed in her garage and she was the prime suspect! To make matters worse, why out of all the detective in New Orleans did Slade have to answer the call? Detective Slade Montgomery does not want to answer the call of a homicide at a church where he was jilted four years ago. You would think that he was over it by now, but you would be wrong! Slade never stopped loving Marissa. Yeah, he dated, but is wasn't like having Marissa. Now it seemed that someone was killing every Assiymov because they were dropping like flies! Since Marissa married Peter would she be next, even though she had been divorced for six months? Not if Slade could help it. He wanted a second chance with Marissa and this time she would make it down that aisle! Ms. Atkins writes a compelling novel titled PRIME SUSPECT that is full of twists. The writing flowed smoothly and keeps you guessing of its conclusion. For every mystery lover this one is a must!
