Lifetime (2007) by Liza Marklund

Translated from the Swedish 2013

A newspaper reporter's house burns down the same evening her husband leaves for another woman.  She and her two children get out, but she must start over. Her detective skills enable her to solve the case of a beloved police officer, who has been shot dead.  His wife is accused and her cop girl friends hold fast to their belief in the wife's quilt.  Curiously the 4 yar old son is missing and the wife also accused with his disappearance.  A peculiar cast of characters are presented and the conclusion is awkward.  I enjoyed this one.
