"C" is for Corpse by Sue Grafton

Finished on 7/13.

A young man comes to Kinsey claiming that someone is trying to kill him - and before she can get well started on her investigation - that someone succeeds. This leaves her with the unsettling situation of working for a dead client.

Think "The Graduate."

As for my tracking points, a corpse is fairly critical (although not completely essential) to the plot - unless you want to count the corpse of the victim/client himself. And she didn't kill anybody (she did break his nose, though - but he nearly killed her first) - or sleep with anyone. She gets much less of that than Sharon McCone, although Sharon usually has a steady boyfriend for several books at a stretch and the latest seems pretty permanent.
