The Inspector Wilfred Dover series by Joyce Porter. I'm currently re-reading "Dover One" - WONDERFUL!
The Crime at Black Dudley by Margery Allingham

I read the Griffiths ones though I don't buy them. Ruth annoys me, but the settings and some of the other characters keep me reading. The actual mysteries are OK though not very challenging. But then, I've been reading mysteries since I was 4 - learned to read early, started with the Boxcar Children - so it's hard to come up with a plot angle that's new to me.

That series has been on my TBR list for years - could get me moving.
Elly Griffiths is one of my favorite authors.
I am in the middle of The Skeleton Road by Val McDermid. A little bit slow so far, but other than that pretty good.
I am still up for The Glass-Sided Ants' Nest by Peter Dickinson, or Green for Danger by Christanna Brand.
I like Elly Griffiths and so agree with those who recommend The House at Sea's End.
thank you for putting the link here: I keep missing polls (in another group) and would like to participate. :-)
Oooh, a tie! So what happens now?

The Bride of Newgate by John Dickson Carr. I found with some books of my parents. Looks like it should fit the criteria here, even though the writer is an American.
