ABANDONED. Mystery, Detective, Beast. guy who doesn't/can't speak and looks like a beast. (He's really big) and his girlfriend (real or platonic) kills someone and he takes the blame for her

There is this guy who doesn't/can't speak and looks like a beast. (He's really big) and his girlfriend (real or platonic) kills someone and he takes the blame for her, since he can't speak and because he loves her. So the book is about a detective trying to discover this beast, that he really is the beast.

Burak, what year did you read this book?

Who was killed, and was it an accident or murder?

Are there fantasy or paranormal elements? Do the characters have special powers?

Location - U.S./country, big city/small town/region?

[Burak]

I didn't read the book myself. A girl once mentioned such a book with almost those exact words. So I don't know more details.

Burak, are you still looking for this or did you find it?
