What's the one with the psychic detective agency run by a family? 'The Hollows' series by Kim Harrison? Wait, that's Rachel Morgan and her roommates, not a biological family. Hmm. Maybe 'The Others' by Anne Bishop? No, that's about beings who aren't human. I'm blanking on a pure 'family firm' series right now, to be honest. Might need to lurk and see what others suggest.
What about the 'Weather Warden' series? Joanne Baldwin is a warden who controls weather and elements, fighting djinn and other supernatural threats. She's an orphan, but she builds a tight circle of allies, including her lover David (a djinn) and other wardens. It's not a biological family, but the series explores found family and loyalty in a high-stakes world where they're essentially first responders to magical disasters. The emotional beats are very much about protecting your own.
'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King has the ka-tet, a found family bound by destiny. Roland Deschain is the last gunslinger from a fallen lineage of warriors, and he gathers his tet-mates to hunt the Man in Black and reach the Tower. It's a surreal, cross-genre epic, but the core is a familial group of hunters on a quest, with Roland as the grim, paternal figure trying to pass on his code and mission. The theme of lineage and succession is huge, especially with his relationship to Jake and Susannah.
How about urban fantasy with a mercenary twist? 'The Iron Druid Chronicles' features Atticus, the last Druid, and his Irish wolfhound/legal counsel, Oberon. He gathers a small circle of allies, including a widow and her son, who become his modern-day family. They're constantly defending against gods, vampires, and witches. While Atticus is the powerhouse, the series is about protecting his makeshift clan from the supernatural fallout his long life attracts. It's a found family forged in magical combat.
Okay, but has anyone mentioned 'Supernatural'? The TV show's obviously the king of this trope, but there are tons of novelizations and original book series set in that universe following the Winchesters. They're literally two brothers (and sometimes their found family) driving across America hunting everything from ghosts to gods. The books capture that gritty, familial loyalty-in-adversity vibe perfectly. If you want the quintessential 'family business of hunting' feeling, that's probably the most direct cultural touchstone.

Book 1: Fated to the Werewolf King
Book 2: A Vampire's Witch
The 'Repairman Jack' series by F. Paul Wilson ties into his larger 'Adversary Cycle,' and while Jack is a lone fixer, he is fiercely protective of his girlfriend Gia and her daughter Vicky, who become his family. The threats are increasingly supernatural and cosmic. He's not a hunter by trade, but he constantly ends up hunting monsters and malign forces to protect his fledgling family unit. It's a slower burn on the family front, but the drive to protect them becomes the core motivation for facing down ever-greater horrors. It's more of a 'man becomes a monster hunter because of his family' narrative.
Have you tried the 'InCryptid' series by Seanan McGuire? It follows a family of cryptozoologists who try to protect magical creatures living in secret. While not detectives in a traditional sense, each book often involves a mystery—a missing creature, a strange magical phenomenon, a murder—that they have to solve using their knowledge of the hidden world. It's lighter and funnier than her 'October Daye' books, with a strong focus on family, ecology, and very creative monster design. The perspective shifts between family members, which keeps it fresh.
The 'Twilight Reign' series by Tom Lloyd starts with a young man, Isak, who is chosen as the heir to a god-like figure. While epic fantasy, Isak and his companions spend a great deal of time investigating ancient prophecies, political murders, and the mysterious history of the gods themselves. The world is filled with haunted ruins and lingering magic.
The scale is enormous, but the process of uncovering the truth feels investigative. Characters piece together fragments of lore, interrogate spies, and explore forbidden places to understand the threat they face. The haunting is the weight of destiny and a world on the brink of apocalypse.
It's a recommendation for those who like their investigations on a world-shaking scale, with military campaigns and divine politics. The lore is deep and the mysteries are satisfyingly complex. It's not a detective story, but the narrative is driven by characters seeking answers to profound questions.
