Query: A great main character

I picked this book up on a whim. I'm not even a big mystery buff, but I like that Raymond Chandler thing once in a while and from the opening line Gran's narrative voice caught me up and did not let me down. The hardboiled tone never feels fake or simply derivative, but always quite natural. More importantly, this is a book whose main character is very believable and despite a very checkered past, deeply honorable. Your heart goes out to her in a way that it never would for, say, a Sam Spade. Josephine Flannigan is a superb novelistic creation, and I do hope Gran can find a way to bring her back for more.
