Quintin Jardine writes three series of crime novels - I like his characters better than Rankin's Rebus, especially the Bob Skinner books.
Or there's Ellis Peters' Cadfael books for medieval mysteries. |

If you can find them, Colin Watson's Flaxborough series.
Coffin Scarcely Used. Hopjoy was Here. Whatever's Going on at Mumblesby? and others. The novels are all set in and around Flaxborough, a largish (mythical) town in East Anglia, and have some of the most engaging villains and victims you are ever likely to meet. Good detective stories, but definitely a bit different (i.e. funny). There are a dozen or so, written from the early 60s into the early 80s. I've only every found about half of them so far. |
