Robert and Cynthia Bell contact Laurie Moran to reconsider re-opening  their son's murder case.  They believe their daughter-in-law murdered him though it was never  proven.   Their son was an upstanding member of the community, a doctor no less, well respected and had no enemies.  He was unhappy with his wife and wanted to divorce her but was afraid he might lose custody of their two children.   After his death, his parents wanted the mother found guilty and they want to take the two kids to raise saying their daughter-in-law is unfit, she drinks, she takes drugs and witnesses have said she was in the company of a rough looking guy and the nanny said she would keep large amounts of money.in drawers around her room then all of a sudden the money would be gone but the nanny didn't see any purchases to show for it.   So many accusers but no guilty conviction.   Can Laurie prove her innocence or guilt on "Under Suspciion," or will new evidence come to light?   Good story, good plot line all the way to the end.   I would recommend this to  highschoolers on up.
