was it "B is for Burglar?"
That's a Kinsey Millhone mystery by Sue Grafton. There's a witness Kinsey interviews named William, nn Wim. I can't say I like Wim, it seems affected and weak.

Ok, so I do remember what book it was, or at least the author, but I wasn't going to mention it because I am ashamed of myself. ... I read it in a Danielle Steel book. She is one of the most pretentious writers of drivel I've ever read, so it's no surprise a name she uses on a character seems affected.

I've only ever read parts of her books ...A long long time ago and I don't get how she's been so successful. If I recall, she doesn't even do good sex scenes.

She doesn't do sex scenes! It's like "and then, over the faberge egg, Philip looked at Victoria, saw the Tiffany necklace sparkling at her throat, and said, 'oh I love you, my darling. I know we've just met at Spago and I know we've only had one night together at the Ritz, but I love you darling. I do.'" And then we leave the room and they have very expensive sex we don't know about.

oh, yeah, she's a name-dropperOr a brand-name dropper, actually.
Be more interesting if they did something kinky with the Faberge egg, wouldn't it?
