The Spellman Files, by Lisa LutzRead about the other entries on the list.
Before I knew that we’d someday find out exactly who Veronica would become in adulthood, I imagined her being a whole lot like Izzy Spellman—still a PI, still working with her quirky and hilarious family, still a little rocky on the relationship front, and definitely a scotch drinker. This series is the closest I’ve read to the Grown-up(ish) Version of VM…at least until the first of the new novelizations, Veronica Mars: The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, comes out at the end of the month.
