Sayers has the advantage of a bibliography of reasonable length! I’ll be interested in your reactions; I personally think she loses her moorings a bit when she gets to Harriet Vane.
I particularly like early Ellery Queen for its New York flavor. I’ve not read as much Carr although I remember liking some books more than others; in fact I recently abandoned one.
