Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs

Afterwards, as the country recovers from the horrors of war, Maisie sets up on her own in London as a private investigator, and soon finds that trusting her instincts is the best way to solve the case.

I. J. Parker's Sugawara Akitada
His noble family fallen on hard times, Sugawara Akitada works as a minor official in the Ministry of Justice in Heian Kyo, capital of Japan in the 11th century. The post is boring, but there are bills to pay, servants to maintain and a diminished estate to keep up as best he can. However, Akitada also has a sharp mind and an inquisitive nature, both of which get put to the test as he unravels murders and mysteries that carry him from the depths of the most common peasant hovels to the sacred halls of the Imperial Palace itself.

C. J. Box's Joe Pickett
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden - especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way - is far from popular. Unlike many mystery novel protagonists, Joe doesn't arrive with excess emotional baggage, or a dark past that haunts him. He works hard and tries, sincerely, to "do the right thing." He doesn't talk much. He's human, and real.
