This is OP! Thanks for all the ideas! The suggestions in the post I quoted above probably come closest to what I have in mind! I haven’t read them yet, but Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem and Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk are other books that I think probably come close to what I’m looking for. I love books like The Woman in White and My Cousin Rachel (which maybe are gothic?). When it comes to authors folks typically think of when they think of mystery writers, Dorothy Sayers, Josephine Tey, and Tana French probably conf closest, or Dashiell Hammet and Raymond Chandler for noir. I also really liked the Martin Beck series and the Last Policeman trilogy. I’ve read all or most of Agatha Christie, Sayers, Tey, French, Maisie Dobbs, Inspector Gamache, Ruth Rendell, PD James, Guido Brunetti, Bruno Chief of Police, Ann Cleves, and some other similar series :)
