Blood Sisters by Graham Masterton
This guy wrote horror for decades, I saw that he was writing mysteries--that's what the library has of his books at this point--so I grabbed one out of curiosity. Turns out, he's in the middle of a series with this one, which is a bit of a bummer. He's still got some writing chops--especially an ear for dialogue--but this is laden with probably a superabundance of story threads, many of which are carried over from past novels, many of which are clearly going to resolve in future novels. There is a central case, here, and it does get worked out, but there are also lots of other things going on to make the main character's life worse. She's a likable character, being the main in a detective series is probably the worst thing that could have happened to her.
