Michael Innes (Inspector Appleby)

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.

Alan Hunter writes Inspector Gently. Beaton's detectives are Hamish MacBeth and Agatha Raisin.
