I would also recommend Colin Dexter, creator of Inspector Morse. Not sure if anyone has mentioned him.
You might pooh-pooh this, but I also like Alexander McCall Smith, for travelling mainly. The 44 Scotland Street series I am reading now. Not mysteries (unless you count the Isabel Dalhousie stuff, and that's only quasi-mystery).
Hmm. Yoda-esque.

I have read some of the Colin Dexter novels, but I've read them out of order so I get kind of confused. Is there a website where you can find out what order these series that have been around for decades should be read in?
I've read the Ladies Detective Agency novels by Smith -- are the 44 Scotland Street series similar in style? They aren't very substantive mystery-wise, but the characters are well-written and interesting and they are easy to read and enjoy.
eta: after writing this, I checked out the blog that Anne posted and apparently it lists the authors' books in chron order. That looks very helpful.
