Elkins' Gideon Oliver books are great, and I also like his Chris Norgren books about an art curator in Seattle. The setting and field are different, but there is the same sort of logical thinking in the mysteries. If I didn't already have them, I would have bought them

Although you asked about SF, you bought mysteries , so here are a few more mainstream (older, but previously published by a major publisher) mystery series that still exist at FW (some DRM, some not):

Nancy Herndon (pen name for Nancy Fairbanks) – several books in the Elena Jarvis series – a police officer in a town which looks to me to be a thinly disguised El Paso

Gillian Roberts – the first two Amanda Pepper (schoolteacher in Philadelphia) – hopefully more will appear in discountable ebook if Ms. Roberts has had the rights to more early ones revert, which is why I presume the first two are available here

Lora Roberts – Liz Sullivan, a writer in Palo Alto or thereabouts

Ted Wood – series with Reid Bennett – a police chief of a tiny town in Canada

Helen Chappell – a cozy ghost-based mystery series, set in (on?) the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but from before the recent paranormal craze, and well done IMO

Colin Cotterill – first couple in the Siri Paiboun series, set in Laos

Magdalen Nabb – the “Marshal” books set in Florence
