#2 in the Judge Deborah Knott series, in which Ms. Knott actually becomes a judge. Someone kills a local building inspector known as a bit of lech, and Deborah's briefly a suspect as she was at the scene, had the murder weapon in her hand and he'd tried to rape her niece. Then Deborah's brother Herman ends up poisoned with arsenic--not fatally, fortunately--and Deborah is sure the two events are somehow related. I figured this one out very early on, but still enjoyed the book and the quirky characters.
