Other Golden Age authors, you might like (suggested title in brackets) include: Ngaio Marsh, (Death in a White Tie), J. J. Connington (Murder in the Maze), Cyril Hare (Tragedy at Law), Helen McCloy (Alias Basil Willing), Edmund Crispin (The Moving Toyshop), Nicholas Blake (The Beast Must Die) and Henry Wade. All except Wade are available in e-book form.

I recently enjoyed "Six Against the Yard". The latter was first published in 1936 and is a collection of stories by six well-known crime writers (Margery Allingham, Anthony Berkeley, Freeman Wills Crofts, Ronald Knox, Dorothy L. Sayers and Russell Thorndike) of the time. After each effort, a retired (real) policeman comments on how/why the murder would be less-than-perfect. Recently re-issued - ebook available.

Modern authors and series:

Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series by Deborah Crombie
Shetland series by Ann Cleeves
Bryant & May series by Christopher Fowler

Lots to enjoy
