I've been reading the Miss Marple books by Agatha Christie and it seems to me they are not too serious. I love the Tommy and Tuppence books too but it's been a while since I read them and I am not sure if they are as light-hearted as I think they are.
I also think that the early Mrs. Murphy books by Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown are pretty light. (Half of the main characters/crime solvers are a dog and a cat team.) That series and The Cat Who... books by Lillian Jackson Braun are my go-to books when I'm in the mood for fluff.
