The audio series 'The Two Princes' has a female knight, Lady Miranda, who in later seasons deals with the balance of royal duty, wartime leadership, and her role as a mentor/figure to the princes. It's a fantasy adventure with thriller elements, and her arc is about the weight of responsibility vs. personal loyalty. Not a detective per se, but the 'investigation' and strategy of war and court intrigue serve a similar function—a demanding profession that conflicts with softer, personal ties.
The webcomic 'Cursed Princess Club' has a subplot with a detective character, Mara, who is investigating the mysterious club while balancing her duties as a lady-in-waiting and her own quirky personality. It's a comedy-drama, so the 'thriller' is light, but the theme of juggling a secret, intellectually stimulating side hustle with societal expectations is definitely there. It's a sweet, funny take on the idea.
I'm waiting for someone to recommend something truly offbeat. Most recs are police procedurals or PIs. What about an amateur sleuth in a unique setting? A lighthouse keeper solving a mystery while caring for an elderly parent? A diplomat's wife using her skills to navigate a dangerous posting? The work-life balance would be so specific and rich. The genre feels like it has room to stretch beyond the usual detective archetypes.
The BritBox series 'Vera' does this in a quieter, older-woman way. Vera Stanhope has no family of her own; her team is her family. The balance is about her maternal, sometimes abrasive, relationship with her sergeants and how her lonely, workaholic life is both a choice and a burden. She lives in an isolated house, married to the job, but the show explores the quiet sadness and occasional warmth of that existence. It's not a traditional family, but the found-family dynamics at the station are the heart of the 'balance'.
