Trouble in Queenstown by Delia Pius, 320 pages
"“I was horny. After a week-long dry spell, the itch was nagging again.” Not a typical starting point for a private investigator story!
...I really liked Vandy. She’s a street-smart woman who won’t take any crap from anyone anymore. She’s relationship-averse and prefers very short-term physical relationships over more meaningful ones. All of this impacts how she faces life and investigations. The town itself is sort of a character. Its past includes KKK activity and there’s plenty of remaining racism to go around, including anti-immigrant sentiment that affects the local Latino population."
