Stranger in the Room by Amanda Kyle Williams

It's summer in Atlanta and private detective Keye Street and her assistant Neil are investigating why an urn given to a family was filled with cement mix and chicken feed rather than their mother's remains. Keye's cousin, Miki, has also asked Keye for help.  She is afraid that someone is stalking her and wants Keye to find out who it might be.  It appears that the person who has targeted Miki is more disturbed and dangerous than either woman could ever imagine...  Stranger in the Room is the second book in the Keye Street series and reminds me of an edgier Kinsey Millhone, the private investigator created by Sue Grafton.
