John D MacDonald's Travis McGee series did it for me.

Is Martha Grimes a second rater? I love her books. What about Elizabeth Peters? Agatha Christie- I read every one in high school along with the Tey books. Weird Ruth Rendell? I laugh myself silly over Joan Hess' MAggody series.

<< Let's see whether anybody can suggest some superb mystery writers I haven't run across yet.>> I don't read mysteries, but asked my husband, who does, sometimes, and he immediately suggested The Burning Court, by John Dickson Carr. There is a South African mystery writer named Wessel Ebersohn who he says isn't a first rate writer, but has written a couple of police procedurals set in apartheid RSA that are very good. One is A Lonely Place to Die, the other Divide the Night. His works were banned in South Africa. The main character is a police psychiatrist.
