The mysteries I read tend toward the 'crime novel' end of the genre and are pretty hardcore, like Dennis Lehane's Kenzie/Gennaro series and George Pelecanos, so I don't know if they're your cuppa. But they *are* incredibly written.
I'm probably the only person in the room who gave up on the Plum mysteries. I made it to #12 and got sick of how Stephanie never learns a goddamn thing. I like my heroines to be competent. *g*
