Hi-

I am looking for advice from Mystery readers if they would be able to help me out. I am looking for any Mystery series you may know of that is actually about the Mystery. In this vain I mean books that are similar to Sherlock Holmes or the works of Agatha Christie. I dislike many of the new mystery novels as they have these parallel stories with the detective dealing with money problems, relationships, haunted memories from the past, and baggage I really don't care about. What I like is a story where something happens, then the whole book is about solving the mystery, not about the detective. I guess I am old fashioned.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
