Sara Gran's Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway
The second Claire Dewitt book (after Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead) is more of the same, only Claire is more of a mess than ever, trying to figure out who murdered her ex-boyfriend. That's all interspersed with a case (?) from her teenage years, when she and her best friend are determined to be detectives and try and find a missing girl, a year before her best friend disappears herself. Plus there's a whole running thing involving miniature horses which is pretty great. This series isn't for everyone--it's definitely not a traditional mystery series, except maybe in the tradition of the craziest, most drug-addled noir detectives--but Gran's storytelling is really exciting, and the end of this one definitely has me eager for the next one. A/A-.
