Well, nice to see both Kinky Friedman and Robert Crais mentioned. Been a Kinky fan for years, but only discovered Crais last year. Bit of a rarity still, the funny whodunnits, but in that vein, Lauren Henderson wrote some good ones before she went into the female dating genre. Otherwise, Henning Mankell, Jonathan Kellerman, Annie Proux, Richard Russo, Richard Layman, Robert Wilson won't lead you far wrong. Oh, and if you fancy a good writer in the historical thrillers section, Steven Saylor is probably the best I've come across.
