Some good choices here.  I have read and can recommend the series of books by Barry Maitland, one is featured here.  I also enjoyed all of the books in Reginald Hill’s Dalziel and Pascoe series; one is here.  I want to read Sweet Little Lies and the second in the series.  A third is coming soon. I enjoyed and reviewed The Banker’s Wife; if you liked books like Pavone’s The ExPats, you should like this one.  And there is also a Donna Leon.  Enjoy.
