It might not be your thing. Detecting is incidental, almost a maguffin. I did like the first twelve, which we have on paper and we liked, so I bought these also for convenience.
Not fussed on The Sunday Philosophy Club series AKA Isabel Dalhousie Mysteries.
The 44 Scotland St is OK (but not as good as No1. Detective), and unusually for modern era started as serial written as it was published, Dickens style, as was the Corduroy Mansions series (which I found boring). I also read the omnibus he 21⁄2 Pillars of Wisdom, 1st 3 books of Professor Dr von Igelfeld Entertainments and didn't like it.
This sort of explains why a Scottish Law Professor can be writing about people in Botswana.

I think the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series is unique.
