If I'd Killed Him When I Met Him... by Sharyn McCrumb

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

And Donna Jean Morgan is implicated in the death of her Bible-thumping bigamist husband.

"Bill's feminist firebrand partner, A.P. Hill, does her damnedest for Eleanor, an abused wife in denial, and Bill gallantly defends Donna Jean. Meanwhile, Elizabeth's forensic expertise, including her special knowledge of poisons, leads her into the most challenging case of her career ..."

Well, yeah, sorta. The writer of this blurb forgot the mention the girl who wanted to marry a dolphin, legally.

And I still don't know why the author picked this title, aside from its eye-catching qualities.
