Female cop/PI music?

jazz. But after reading 'U' I realized we never hear about Kinsey's
taste in music. Or Sharon McCone's, or VI Warshawsji's or anyone's other
than Carlotta Carlisle's. I guess women coppers just don't unwind with
music. They'll tell us about the wine they drink, but not the chops.
Weird.

Doesn't VI talk about opera frequently? Although she definitely doesn't have
a soundtrack, like a Pelecanos protagonist.

It's a well kept secret, but.... Country & Western.

True, I forgot VI sings opera and has a piano, and I think she sings
whilst cleaning the house (after its been trashed by the bad guys). So
wow, two female protagonists unwind with music.
I'd like to know what Rankin's Siobhan listens to.

Who? Kinsey? Really? LOL!! But I think line dancing would be too social
& structured for her to put up with.

C & W has a song for every occasion. Whether it's unrequited love or
your pickup truck got stolen, there's always the right song available.

You have to set your story in a music town like New Orleans for the
music to be part of the scene. Jill Smith does that. Her characters
are frequently players or partners of players. So that the performance
of music and the music itself becomes a part of the plot. James Lee
Burke also of New Orleans makes music a big part of his stories in the
same way. The writer also has to know a lot about the subject or else
the tones are false. I've stressed in many of my messages about
authors I recommended their ear and their ability to involve sound as
part of their descriptions. I'm reading Max A. Collins's Angel In
Black which is about the Black Dahlia case in Los Angeles back in the
early 50's. If he goes into a club in which the type of music is a
part of the scene, he will incorporate that into the setting telling
the reader what is being played without being particularly subjective
about it.

Of the things you mention only Jill Smith write about female PIs or
cops. True, the locale lends itself to music, but I want to know about
women.
Nice try

Falls" we learn more about her tastes as she tries to get Rebus to listen to
something other than the Stones and others of the era. (Hendrix, Clapton, et
al) ;-) . One fan of Rankin's series has catalogued all the musical
references found in all the Rebus novels here:

Among others, I believe Siobhan was responsible for introducing Rebus to
music by Mogwai (a Glaswegian group) and Hawkwind. Interesting thing too
that in the earliest of the Rebus novels (the first five), there were few
musical references... and when there were, he was listening to classic jazz
or, in one instance, the Beatles. There's even some opera in "Stripjack".
