Each Josephine Tey book is different so you should try a couple of them. I really like them.

Craig Rice and Amanda Cross can be recommended. They write about the same characters. Sarah Caudwell wrote four books about English barristers which are very funny and entertaining.

Among newer stuff I like Colin Dexter, Ruth Rendell, Sara Paretsky and Sue Grafton.
