Have you tried Julie Smith? She has two series, one set in San
Francisco and the other in New Orleans. She was a newspaper reporter,
first in N.O. then in S.F, before she turned to mystery writing, so her
background and characters are both excellent.

The Ian Rankin 'Rebus' mysteries are great. Just finished ready about 10
of them that my sister lent me. Must find the one's I haven't read at
the library. Rankin's non-Rebus mysteries are also good.
Also Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn and Chee books. If you haven't
discovered them, Ellis Peter's Cadfael and her Detective Felse series.
She also wrote some great stand alone mysteries with musical subjects
(The Horn of Roland, etc).
Antonia Frazer's mysteries (all with red in the title)
Dorothy Dunnett's "Dolly" mysteries, although these are now out of print
- possibly in your local library or used book store.

"The Last Samurai", Helen deWitt.
Interesting yarn, but too wordy. I skipped entire paragraphs and
pages.
Many direct quotes in Greek, Icelandic - see what I mean?
I'm almost thru it, but would never read it again.
Just reread "The Fixer" (Bernard Malamud) - it's an old fave I open
about every 5 years.
