Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown is excellent. She feels like a real person carrying grief, work stress and family problems while solving a case. It is not glamorous, and that is what makes it so good.

Answers & Discussion
Jodie Foster is still one of the best for this. The Silence of the Lambs works because Clarice feels smart but vulnerable, not like a superhero. Foster gives the movie its emotional center.
Amy Adams in Sharp Objects is incredible. It is dark and not easy to watch, but the performance is layered and exhausted in a way that feels real. If you want a strong female-led mystery, that should be near the top.
