Detroit is where Charlene “Charlie” Mack runs a private detective business. Her life is as complex as the Motor City. Charlie struggles with her sexuality while caring for her ailing mother. A theft investigation leads Charlie and her team down to Birmingham, Alabama.

I lived in Montgomery, Alabama and remember visiting the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. 

From Michelle's list on mystery for mature Black women.
