Peace, Seeley

I am fan of Agatha Christie novels and looking for modern popular authors series which are mostly like Poirot series. Are there any new authors who has the same suspense and mystery in ..."
Personally, I think the PD James books are a lot like Agatha Christie's books. That is they are puzzle mysteries that take place in an isolated environment. For me that is not a good thing. I like to see more variety and character development of the main characters.

The Hunt for Sonya Dufrette
Also, L.C. Tyler's books are a little bit more of a send-up of the Golden Age, but fun, IMO:
The Herring Seller's Apprentice
I'd recommend Wicked Autumn by G.M. Malliet
Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie
and Bruno, Chief of Police: A Novel of the French Countryside by Martin Walker
Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie
and Bruno, Chief of Police: A Novel of the French Countryside by Martin Walker



Death Of A Hollow ManThe Killings At Badger's Drift
The Midsomer Murder books are set in the English countryside.
Or the Agatha Raisin series (also very tea and crumpet type mystery)
Agatha Raisin and the Potted Gardener
Of course nothing is ever quite like a Christie. ;0)
