I've been reading Catherine Aird's Inspector Sloan mysteries, the first two of which are The Religious Body and Henrietta Who?
The books are written and set in 60s-70s rural England, and I'd place them somewhere between cozy and police procedural. They're about the detective work and the case, without much personal life thrown in, but they're not heavy on the forensics. Definitely not graphic. I could do without the inspector's bumbling constable sidekick, but he's not pushed on us too much and a few books in he's being used more adeptly.
Overall, I won't claim these are mysteries for the ages, but I'm enjoying them, and a bit surprised I hadn't encountered them before.
