    I've read these three books so far. The female lead is intelligent throughout. Most importantly, all three are audiobooks featuring real people. In the first book, the female lead grew up on the border and, after moving to the city, proactively revealed her identity and solved several major cases. She's intelligent throughout, though the ending is a bit sci-fi. The second book is a suspense novel I'm currently listening to. The female lead is intelligent and has a cool, cute demeanor throughout. I'm currently listening to the second case and haven't finished the rest yet, but I highly recommend it. The third book is also highly recommended. The female lead is exceptionally intelligent, with strong reasoning abilities. There's a romantic partner, and both characters are highly intelligent.
