The Kate Shugak mystery series by Dana Stabenow. There are 20 as of now, so I'm happy to be set with books for the foreseeable future! They take place in Alaska. Kate is a native Aleut who investigates murders for the Anchorage DA -- like most murder mystery series, you have to suspend disbelief that the number of murders per capita is drastically higher than the statistical average, and that they happen so frequently in proximity of the main character/sleuth...especially in this case, because she lives out in the bush and her nearest neighbor is miles away.
They are really well-written. I'm on the third one. Diana Gabaldon recommends them, and if a favorite author recommends another author, that's a good lead.
