Books by Beth Button

Meredith Kendall is a graduate journalist student in Phoenix in the nineties. When a popular attorney/male model is arrested for killing his ex-wife, she decides to study it. She asks people closely connected to the case to contribute a written reaction. Each chapter is a submission to her project. Participants include attorneys, therapists, members of the media, and close friends of the victim and suspect. They each choose which part of the case to focus on. Her project results in a personal look at the secrets, lies, and speculation surrounding the couple's past and the suspect's future.
