Review of LET HER GO by D. J. Adamson

Lillian Dove is a five-years sober recovering alchoholic in Iowa. By a bizarre chain of circumstances, she inherited a discount liquor store and the owner's residence. That keeps her fairly well occupied after losing her position on the city police force. That, and longing after the police chief but trying to keep away from him since he has a wife permanently in a care home, and a ton of constant self-analysis. Lillian is doing Third Step work, and when a situation occurs virtually in front of her involving violence, murder, and disappearance, Lillian leaps into the fray, despite having no official standing.
