Two of my favourite authors!

For Stephanie Plum-like books: How about Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone or Parnell Hall's Puzzle Lady series? They are both best read in sequence and I'm not sure how many Puzzle Lady are in eBook format; I think Grafton's are available.

Joanne Fluke's bakery-titled books. I've just read the latest one but will read more. Seems just a bit lighter-weight and fluffy, easy to read. And recipes!

For Reichs-like books, authors that I really like:
Lisa Gardner, DD Warren series - she is a female detective.
Karin Slaughter. Her books are very graphic but have a female protagonist (coroner/pediatrician), again best read in sequence. Most have quite a dark side though
I like Greg Iles, which are all stand-alone. I can't recall specific female main characters but there were probably some.
