I have been reading 赤川次郎.
While most people may not be as がっかり as I was that 三毛猫ホームズ doesn't actually expound the solutions to mysteries but just acts like a regular cat, I would warn that 赤川先生 is a little prone to springing previously unknown facts at the denouement of a mystery, which I consider to be slightly dirty pool.
However, the stories are great fun so it is very forgivable!
