Who are some that you like, then?

I've heard that it was during the 20s and 30s, when Agatha Christie, Ngaio
Marsh, Dorothy Sayers, and a host of others (meaning I can't think of any
other names right now  ) were publishing.  Since it's mostly the English
writers who are listed, it may be a bit biased.
