Looking for Realistic Republican-Era or Period Dramas
I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.

As the title says, I just finished reading a tech geek mystery novel and would love recommendations for similar books. Other highly rated suspense novels are welcome too. I have pretty broad tastes.

A Smart Female Lead Who Solves Cases
I'm looking for books like "Solving Cases at the Cost of My Life: Making a Killing in a Detective Game". The female lead solves cases with a System, and she needs to be smart, not reliant on it. A male lead is optional, but if there is one, I'd prefer him to be a criminal police officer.

I'm in a Reading Slump, Aaaaaah

I've read several of this author's books, and I put this one last because I'm not particularly interested in Republican-era themes. But after finishing it, I feel this one should be my number one! Although it seems to have the lowest rating among the author's books, perhaps because some details weren't revised. However, I think the male and female leads are the most vividly portrayed in this book.
I like the female lead's rich heiress character; it's very enjoyable to read. The only slightly off-putting part is the part where the male lead misunderstands her identity. I hope they don't pair her brother up with someone else.
The author's writing style is consistently excellent and solid; highly recommended. All the books are logically rigorous from beginning to end, written with ease and without any awkwardness typical of beginners. I don't know why the rating isn't high; perhaps not many people enjoy crime novels? Maybe I find them a bit scary?
I really don't understand why this rating is so low! I truly, truly love this author's writing! I've read two ancient detective novels and this one set in the Republican era. Actually, I don't like novels set in that period because I know the history of that era, and I don't want to see anyone sacrifice themselves. I was afraid someone in the main group would die, so I hadn't read this book yet.
What I like most about the female lead is her fresh character design; she can understand human speech, is highly capable, and knows how to protect herself. The male lead's character is just average, but the brother's character is incredibly good. He's even more outstanding than the male lead.
I had read another book by the same author before, and then I stumbled upon this one. The more I read, the more familiar it seemed, and then I realized it was written by the same author. The writing is very delicate, the characters are vividly portrayed, and I really like the male and female leads. The plot is tight, with each story seamlessly connected, making you want to keep reading.
It's a fantastic read. I especially love this author's works; every single one is wonderful. I previously loved Rose Blade, and I still love this one. I adore the vivid characters the author brings to life. The ensemble cast is excellent; everyone has their own shining qualities and is the protagonist of their own life.
Author, you're such a talented writer! I'm still following the serialization of "Goddess Detective," and this book corrected your typos the first time I noticed them (I probably missed them before, or I forgot them).
Bookworms, feel free to dive in! ✧(≖◡≖✿) It's great! 👀👍🏻 A truly unique female lead with dual pistols—she's individualistic yet not willful or pretentious. I especially love the selfless affection between her and her brother; I'm so envious! 😊
It's very good, better than the crime-solving novels set in the Republican era that I've read before. Both the male and female leads have impressive identities and kind families. The plot is also more modern, making it a very comfortable read. The plot is exciting, and each case is captivating, making it impossible to put down and forcing you to keep watching. I really like the female lead's brother; he's truly the best brother in the world.
