In Big Trouble by Laura Lippman

2.0

---

I've been reading these books in order, and by book 4, I would have thought that the PI character would perhaps start figuring out the cases. Not so. Tess is taken by surprise by the revelations at the climax yet again, and the resolution was both simple and convoluted. I'm willing to overlook dated language or an unsuccessful investigator, but not both. I'll be looking for another series to delve into instead.
