confusion and corruption

Girls Like Us by Cristina Alger; 2019; $26.00; 276 pages; G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York, New York; 978-0-525-52580-5; checked out from Multnomah County Library, Gregory Heights; 7/16/19-7/18/19

Why did I read this?  The Real Book Spy gave it a good review and some authors I like gave it good blurb on the back cover.

The main character is a female FBI agent who has been on leave because of a traumatic event in her career.  She goes home and while there her father, a local policeman, dies, which set in motion all kinds of things.  She is asked to help with a local homicide and at first the evidence points to her father but as the story progresses things change and she is able to find the true perpetrator of the crime and clear her fathers name.  The crime has roots throughout the upper crust of the community.

9/10

What is with the title of the review?  The main character experiences a lot of confusion as she begins to investigate and uncovers a lot of corruption throughout the community.
