It's a general rule in mysteries/thrillers that if a woman is sexy, beautiful, and independent she'll die, usually before the main character arrives.
Three notable exceptions. "Sea Of Love" movie with Al Pacino. The sexy lady is a suspected serial killer.
"Thin Air" novel by Richard K. Morgan. In this book, it's a man slut who gets killed. It's amusing to look on as the narrator gets more and more jealous of the dead man's sex life.
I can't mention the last one without giving away the plot.
