The second in the series by Jeannie Lin. This is a historical mystery set in imperial China. This follows Mingyu, a high ranking courtesan and Constable Wu Keifeng after Mingyu finds her war lord patron dead in his chambers.
While I don't typically like books with a lot of intrigue, this series drew me in from the start.

I've enjoyed both the Pingkang Li series tremendously. Wish they could have adapted this into a wuxia series!
