I read a lot of crime novels and I'm getting a little bored of the trope of the genius detective who can deduce if someone is lying by the type of shoes they're wearing, or things like that. For once I'd like to read about a detective/investigator who is deeply average but gets the job done by simply doing good thorough investigative work.

It isn’t exactly what you are asking, but I’m currently reading the Sherlock Holmes books. They are really good.
Also, try the Hannibal Lecter series. It suits you, maybe better if you are looking for a character who isn’t a genius.
