Re: Crime books

Chesterton! ...although "believable plot twists" is not exactly about him. His crimes always have complicated psychological pretext, it's not like "the murderer banged his victim with an iron pan and dragged them to the basement in order to hide the body from his wife", it's more like "the murderer banged his victim with a huge silver cross, because he felt like they deserved symbolical justice for cheating on their wife with an Asian, thus betraying their culture and people".

Agatha Christie's seconded; Rex Stout - I love him for his descriptions of food (but the crimes are also good).

I do suspect that you already read Conan Doyle.

Also a somewhat more obscure stuff (read: MUCH more obscure stuff) - a trilogy "The Patient's Eyes"-"The Night Calls"-"The Dark Water". Features Conan Doyle and his mentor Joseph Bell, the/a model for Sherlock Holmes. Events are fictional, but wonderfully tied with the historical ones. Grim Victorian atmosphere comes as a bonus.
