The Death Beat by Fiona Veitch Smith

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

This is a fun historical mystery set in 1920s New York and delivers all you'd hope for a novel in that era: raucous parties, speakeasies, glamorous flapper outfits and uncovering corruption. In my opinion, it's the best paced of the series so far, getting the balance right between plot, historical setting, and the inner lives of the characters. An enjoyable adventure!
