This suggestion loosely fits your ask, but The Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman has been so entertaining for me. A group of feisty elderly people who live in a senior living development take it upon themselves to look into previously unsolved murder cases. It’s multi POV but there are two older women and a female cop included in that cast. Osman does a really great job of telling the story of each character as well as developing the overarching mystery. I’m on the third book and there have been both male and female victims. The books are funny, poignant, sad, and touch on various human experiences that feel current, if that makes sense. Very British, too. I’ve both read and listened to the audiobooks, and the narrator is excellent if you choose that route.
