I'd add the Inspector Alleyn mysteries by New Zealand author Ngaio Marsh (1895?-1982), most of which, happily enough, have been reissued in recent years and are therefore easier to find than some oldies but goodies in mystery fiction. It's been a while since I've read these, and I can't remember which books in the series I liked and which I didn't - no matter, you'll have different tastes than me anyway, right? - but overall she's one of those authors that people tend to get started on and then can't seem to stop.
For more on Ngaio Marsh, see Wikipedia. Here's a bibliography, with links. Volunteers give tours at her home, if you ever get to New Zealand and are into that sort of thing. Marsh was also famous as a theatre producer, particularly of Shakespeare's plays, by the way.
