Margery Allingham (Albert Campion)
Michael Innes (Inspector Appleby)
M.C. Beaton (Inspector Gently)

More modern "gritty" authors:

P.D. James (Inspector Dalgliesh)
Ruth Rendell (Inspector Wexford)
Peter Robinson (Inspector Banks)
Ian Rankin (Inspector Rebus)

Hope this is some help to you. I enjoy all of the above.
If you like Ian Rankin, then you might enjoy Stuart MacBride's Logan McRae series. Very dark & gritty detective stories set in Aberdeen.
