2024 book 168

 Kristen Leipionka's The Last Place You Look

THE Malka Older recommended this series to me, with the note that it probably was grimmer than I was looking for—and it was, but still a solid mystery with great characters. Our heroine is a queer PI whose hard-drinking cop father has recently died, and she’s not really coping well, when she gets a job looking into a long-missing woman and a death row case. Like I said, the mystery here is totally solid and I really enjoyed this characters and her family/friends/associates. I was super frustrated with how reckless she gets toward the end, but I will still be checking out book 2. A-.
