Detective Chief Superintendent Fran Harman faces many challenges in Come to Harm (Detective Fran Harman Mysteries Book 1) by Judith Cutler. Menopause symptoms create problems, her elderly and very demanding parents are a long drive away, and the cold case she's assigned seems to have no clues.
It was a good read and sets us up for more character development in subsequent books. 📚
Correction, 29 May 2024: somehow I originally linked to Book 2, Do No Harm, but the book I actually read was Book 1, Come to Harm.
