Been reading a lot of literary fiction lately so I’m looking to mix it up and delve into genre fiction again. I’d love a few good detective novels that are well-written, with interesting characters, a strong atmosphere, and a compelling mystery. Bonus points if the story is set in the 20s/30s/40s/50s/60s.

Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard is pretty great. I’ve never read the Bosche series but I’ve heard good things about it.
It’s not really a detective fiction but I’d recommend Shibumi by Trevanian
One Good Deed by David Baldacci
