I have read most of the mysteries in this thread, All should be read by anyone who enjoys the genre. I am surprised no one has mentioned Rex Stout or Nicholas Blake. The Scandinavian authors are also very good. A lesser known author, Reed Farrel Coleman, is very complex. But my current personal favorite is Berlin Noir by Philip Kerr.
