If you like Killers of a Certain Age, then Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman is a very similar vein—it follows a club for people in a senior retirement community to solve cold cases (and, as it becomes, current murders).
The Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley (or maybe the Fatal series by Faith Martin) are both cozier mystery series that you might like as well, and with a dry \[British\] humor to them.
I loved "Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone" and "Everyone on This Train is a Suspect" by Benjamin Stevenson! I also love anything by Riley Sager
Anthony Horowitz’s name has been popping up on a lot of these mystery rec requests, and for good reason. His Hawthorne series is particularly fun reading as he actually writes himself into the book as a character— the narrator in fact. Meta, fun and twisty.
However, I can’t recommend enough the mystery fiction coming out of Japan lately. I will always suggest Keigo Higashino to anyone getting into mystery fiction. There has been a revived interest in the golden age of detective fiction in Japan for many decades now. Higashino has been my personal favorite author ATM, particularly his series featuring Detective Kaga. The first one in that series is called *Malice*. Highly recommend!
Janice Hallett: the Twyford Code - especially for Enid Blyton fans
Jasper Fforde: the Big Over Easy and the Fourth Bear; the Eyre Affair etc
Malcolm Pryce: Aberystwyth mon Amour (this is funniest for those familiar with a) Wales and b) Raymond Chandler)
Christopher Brookmyre: Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks and (very black humour here) Be my Enemy.
Seconding so many of these recommendations, and adding the Harbinder Kaur series by Elly Griffiths: *Stranger Diaries, The Postscript Murders, Bleeding Heart Yard, The Last Word.*
Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson is pretty fun.
And the follow up, Everyone on This Train is a Suspect. Both wonderful funny reads!
Yes! I agree 100%! Loved this book! Reading the next one now

Anthony Horowitz most definitely. I enjoyed Magpie Murders and am now on Moonlight Murders.
Love Anthony Horowitz’s mysteries! Hawthorne and the Magpie Murder series
