Shakespear's Trollop

 A Lily Bard mystery by Charlaine Harris book 4, 2000. Shakespeare, Arkansas, is a small town that Lily Bard decided to move to four years ago. She is a cleaning lady, a karate expert and a body builder. Her love life is steaming up, but her clients are dwindling. The latest, Deedra Dean, is found dead, naked, in her parked car in the woods by famed  walker Lily Bard. Walking gives Lily Bard time to clear her head of ruminations in the night and had been known to call 911 when she finds unsettling things. She is out walking  one night, sees a suspicious figure, and as she creeps closer to the house she finds it full of smoke. In this instance she pulls the occupant out the window to safety. He,too, is one of her clients. So much for a woman whose only goal is to remain anonymous. Lily Bard is a good amateur detective in this less-than cozy mystery
