Looking for mystery and detective type books, nothing too romantic

All answers appreciated

TIA

At that age, I was into Agatha Christie. There's sometimes a young couple in Christie's books, but the romance is never the main focus.

She also wrote a few standalones with an intrepid young woman as the central character. They Came to Baghdad is good fun.

Then there are all the other Golden Age authors - Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham and many others.

Or there's a lot of historical crime to work through - Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael, Lindsey Davis' Falco, to name two long series.

Sherlock Holmes!

I very much enjoyed Brother Cadfael stories at 14. And Falco now.
