Started off ploughing through Agatha Christie's in my teens - read nearly all of them

now I like:
Peter Robinson (especially Aftermath and the Summer that Never was)
Donna Leon
Henning Mankell (though recent ones gone a bit downhill a bit with all this international conspiracy stuff)

I used to love Albert Campion. Also the 87th Precinct ones.

Loved Agatha Christie in my teens, also. Now I like books where the bad guys get it with a bit of humour thrown in, so: Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Brookmyre and Malcolm Pryce. With all, you should start with the first book written, I think. Of course, I'm anal like that.

Will keep your list in mind (haven't read any, so I might be really off course) when I go to the bookshop!
