The Pendergast novels are really good. Lincoln and Child are the authors.

Nero Wolfe is a fictional character, an armchair detective created in 1934 by American mystery writer Rex Stout. Wolfe's confidential assistant Archie Goodwin narrates the cases of the detective genius. Stout wrote 33 novels and 39 short stories from 1934 to 1975, with most of them set in New York City. Wolfe's residence features prominently in the series, a luxurious brownstone on West 35th Street. Many radio, television, and film adaptations have been made from the stories.

The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated for Best Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon 2000, the world's largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was a nominee for Best Mystery Writer of the Century.
Nero Wolfe radio series starring Sydney Greenstreet (1950-1) -- The episodes can be DLed for free and listened to like audiobooks. While the books are much better, this is a nice intro to the characters.

When I lived in Cleveland, there was a local author named Les Roberts. He wrote the Milan Jacovich series. I thought they were pretty good. Something different using the local Cleveland scenes.

I've had this series on the wish list for awhile. Watched the Amazon Bosch season and loved it. Just started The Black Echo on audio book a couple days ago. I spend about 2 hours a day in the car and I've really gotten into audio books to pass the time.

I also have the second book in the series for when I finish this one. I'll probably switch back and forth between audio and ebooks for this series.
