A few authors that spring to mind are:

"Traditional" detective stories:

Dorothy L. Sayers (my all-time favourite crime author. Lord Peter Wimsey)
Ngaio Marsh (Inspector Alleyn)
Margery Allingham (Albert Campion)
Michael Innes (Inspector Appleby)
Alan Hunter (Inspector Gently)
M.C. Beaton (Hamish Macbeth, Agatha Raisin)

More modern "gritty" authors:

P.D. James (Inspector Dalgliesh)
Ruth Rendell (Inspector Wexford)
Peter Robinson (Inspector Banks)
Ian Rankin (Inspector Rebus)

Hope this is some help to you. I enjoy all of the above.
