The Lily Bard series by Charlaine Harris is nothing like the dead series as far as content but it is also a well written series, with a strong female lead, who has a problem filled past.
The first book starts slow and it takes several chapters to discover that Lily is mentally recovering from being brutally gang raped years before, Lily has painstakingly rebuilt her life. She is now must stronger physically and is gaining confidence in her martial arts studies. However, she still disguises her looks and maintains a low profile. After all, housecleaners aren't exactly noticed.
The first book forces her to loose her hard won anonymity and begin to reconnect with people. Each book we see the changes in Lily and the skills she has developed to keep herself safe from ever being a victim again.
A great series for mystery lovers, with a little steam in each book (I am so not lending this to my mother.)
