The first book is: Op
Just shy of sixty-five, Newquist worked too hard, drank too much, and exercised too little.Newquist's widow, Selma, didn't doubt the coroner's report. Tom Newquist had been a detective in the Nota Lake sheriff's office--a tough, honest cop respected by everyone. What was it that had made him prowl restlessly at night and brood constantly? Determined to help Selma find the answer, Kinsey Millhone sets up shop in Nota Lake, where she finds that looking for a needle in a haystack can draw blood--very likely, her own.. When he died suddenly, the townfolk were sad but not surprised. But still, she couldn't help wondering what had so bothered Tom in the last six weeks of his life
