from the golden era i particularly like dorothy sayers lord peter wimsey novels - if only there were more of them, but the modern author who took up the series didn't do it for me.
i actually prefer some of the ngaio marsh books to agatha christie, although some of ac's are darn good stuff.
from the more modern novels i like spenser - like speakingtohe says, light reading, but i like it. i also enjoy robert b. parkers' other series. i'm about halfway through the sir john fielding mysteries by bruce alexander. the first bunch aren't available as ebooks, so i bought 'em used. i'm not a huge fan of historical fiction, but i like the voice in these books and the mysteries.
