Hallowed Bones, by Carolyn Haines

3.0

Sarah Booth Delaney and her best friend, Tinkie, run a PI business in Zinnia, Mississippi. They are hired by a nun in New Orleans to investigate murder charges brought against Doreen Mallory, who is accused of murdering her disabled daughter. But no one believes Doreen is capable of murder, her entire life is devoted to healing and works of faith. Sarah Booth and Tinkie travel to New Orleans to figure out who benefited from the death of a child who did not have long to live. But what they discover there is confounding, it wasn't the baby who was the target, it was Doreen. Could it be the Senator, looking to eliminate a source of blackmail? Could it be the televangelist, who has lost his faith and his power? Could it be Doreen's business partner, who might be more than he seems? Life is never dull around Sarah Booth and Tinkie and their transgender friend, Cece. Read this series for the setting, the Mississippi Delta in all its glory.
