Looking for exactly what the title says. Specifically something that makes you belly laugh and something that you can follow with inductive reasoning plus new revelations that makes things messy.
try harlan coben’s myron bolitar series, lawrence block’s bernie rhodenbarr and keller books, linwood barclay’s zack walker series, donald westlake’s dortmunder series and for the best characters and dialog, ed mcbain’s 87th precinct series. joseph wambaugh also has a few funny standalones.

I enjoy Carl Hiaason books. He has a strong sense of justice, and a wicked sense of humor.

The *Dan Shamble, Zombie PI* series by Kevin J. Anderson. The first book is *Death Warmed Over*. In addition to being mystery/comedy, the whole series also spoofs a lot of common horror movie tropes
