As always I'll recommend the brilliantly mad Gladys Mitchell. (Good link to her books here - The Stone House: A Gladys Mitchell Tribute Site)
Edmund Crispin is also good at his best (though a bit more hit and miss). Anthony Berkley is another top one from the golden age.
Hard boiled Chandler is still really #1, but I'm a particular fan of Ross MacDonald.
More recent stuff there's normally something worthwhile in Ruth Rendell

Funny enough I was just re-reading Roseanna last week. I thought I should get some more of them.

Would like to try some of the pulpy Holmes variants like Sexton Blake, etc

The style of this posting doesn't read at all like a bot, does it? No, it must be a new genuine poster.

One lot of potboilers I banged through the full set was Lyndsey Davis' ones set in ancient Rome about an investigator called Marcus Didius Falco, then some follow ups featuring his daughter. Not world class lit but enjoyable for the setting. Marcus Didius Falco - WikiMili, The Free Encyclopedia
It's a real mystery for sure

Is it another "What's your favourite..." poster or the same one?
