I still have to catch up with Patricia Brigg's books, because so far I managed to find only the second part of Mercedes series XD It's so incredibly hard to find good books in Poland... _o_

Well, I have two more recs, Donald Strachey Mysteries by Richard Stevenson and Dave Brandstetter Mysteries by Joseph Hansen (Dave is actually an insurance agent/detective, but he still solves a lot of great cases <3). Those all are my favourites ^^
