A Murder of Mages by Marshall Ryan Maresca
It's a police procedural! It's a fantasy town! It's magicians! It all seems like a retread.
Satrine Rainey is desperate for a job and tricks her way to becoming part of the constabulary. Her partner is the odd ball on the force nicknamed Jinx. Her nickname is tricky. Someone in town is killing magic users in the city. It's up to Tricky and Jinx to find out who before a war breaks out between the magic clans in the city. It's good deep world building. But I wasn't very involved in the story. Naturally, I'm currently reading the second book in the series. (It's a nice break from reading about the genocide of Native Americans in 1850s California)

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
