The first in the series, but backstory was mentioned in a way as to suggest at least one previous book? Our MC stumbles her way to the murderer while constantly throwing herself into danger and continually making all the wrong decisions. Some red herrings and an easily guessed murderer, but they may have set it up so you guessed the murderer right from the beginning?
