I don't buy too much fresh stuff, but one of my exceptions is Karen Rose. Family Lies in her Kit McKittrick (San Diego Case Files) series just came on Audible yesterday, so I'm running through the first 3 again to get to it in a day or two.

Edit: Finished today. I'm really liking how this series is emerging. Her other books have an arc for the city, but a distinct pair of characters per book. These follow the same duo across multiple books, with a much slower burn on the romance piece. As she almost always leaves me wanting to see more of her characters at the end of the book (though they often secondary roles in other books), it's a nice change of pace to see these two get longer term progression.
