I'm a big fan of the Pendergast series by Preston & Child.
Slowly working my way through Agatha Christie's Poirot novels.
I've got 4 or 5 Bond books by Ian Fleming left. They vary wildly from the movies, but I'm gonna finish them out this year

I envy you on the Bond books. I was 14 when I read them and was transported away into all that shite. It’s not the same now.
To the OP:
I enjoyed the Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan books (TV show BONES based on this…VERY different). Forensic pathology stuff.
Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent books are excellent. I am currently on the one released last year, then I’m all caught up. She has another character, Sara Linton, who appears in the Grant County series she wrote, and she merges the Grant County world with Will Trent’s world with great results.
Start with Triptych.
Will Trent is a detective The TV show has DEI checkboxes ticked, but it’s tolerable…gonna leave that there. Books are NOT like the show, tho the show uses some good plot and story lines from the books.
Sara Linton is a coroner/doctor.
She even teamed with Lee Child for a Will Trent / Jack Reacher team-up in an entertaining story Cleaning the Gold.
The Jack Reacher books by Lee Child are fun reads.
I also grew up on Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct books. LOVE them, tho they may seem dated now. Good old pound-the-pavement police work in a big city based on New York.
