The premise of the book surrounds a murder investigation, where a man was allegedly pushed from the top of a fire tower and fell to his death. He hits his head on a beam on the way down, and some of his injuries from the fall are described post-mortem.

Not necessarily, but because the book is semi-about a murder investigation, two characters are police officers that are well liked by the town

While Kya technically self harms by scratching and pulling at hair I would argue it’s not in the conventional way and is only briefly mentioned.

Nothing particularly graphic, but several mentions of sex and of characters having (or starting to have) sex. Occasionally this happens on-page, but it is never particularly detailed or erotic. There is also an attempted sexual assault.
