There are some crimes that the police just can’t (or won’t!) take on, and then who’re you going to call? A private investigator, of course. These detective novels feature all sorts of private investigators who skillfully get at the heart of a crime better than the police. From cozy mysteries to historical PI’s to hard-hitting contemporary mystery novels, there’s a PI for everyone on this list.
Kendra Michaels is like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. She was blind for the first twenty years of her life until a revolutionary new surgery gave her sight. Now, she uses her powerful talent for observation to assist police and investigators and consult on especially difficult cases. And nothing is more difficult than the case of Delilah Winter, a pop star who goes missing...right in the middle of an extremely busy sold-out show.
