Tamara Berry
An Eleanor Wilde Mystery.
This series (of 2 books so far) is set in England.
The author's use of language is amazing. I don't know how to put it in words, but the words she uses and the way she handles description (of settings & characters) and the way she pens the protagonist's inner thoughts is remarkable.
The plot is solid, too.

Ella Barrick
This author writes under various pseudonyms. My
personal favorite is her Ballroom Dance
Mysteries.
They are excellently written—words flow smoothly, painting a
great picture whether it’s dialogue or narration.
The protagonist, Stacy
Graysin, and her soon-to-be-dead ex-husband share ownership in a dance studio.
Frances Brody
The Kate
Shackleton Mysteries are set in England in the 1920s.
A great historical
read. Her husband was listed as missing in action in the war. Her adopted
father is a police superintendent. It’s inevitable that Kate becomes embroiled
in crime-solving.
Alan Bradley
Set in 1950s England, Flavia de Luce is a refreshing
heroine—she’s eleven years old.
The little girl is appalled, yet fascinated by
murders and inserts herself into solving the deaths. She’s also quite the
chemist which helps her decipher evidence.
An endearing series of 10 novels.
Jim Benton
Benton doesn’t fit into the mystery category, but I
had to include him in my list of wonderful writers.
He writes many children’s
series, but my granddaughters (and I) adore Franny K. Stein. She’s in grade
school and gets into many weird situations she must fix.
Which is only fair,
since—in being a Mad Scientist—she creates the situations!
