As always when TV fails me I go back to books. Any good female consulting detective series? I've seen and sampled a couple from the cozy mysteries thread but I specifically would like someone in the Sherlock Holmes/Adrian Monk spectrum. Someone weird and maybe a little off-putting.
this series is my favorite:

The Kate Shugak Mysteries by Dana Stabenow
