The Fletch series. Very different than the movies but fantastic.

If you want Conan Doyle, I recommend starting off with some sort of collection of works. Most of the Sherlock Holmes stories are very short indeed (some are only a couple of pages).

James Patterson writes some good page turners, but they would never be considered great literature. There are also some plot holes here and there that never quite get smoothed over to my liking (but that's me).

If you want really good stuff, try some Agatha Christie. She was the all-time master, IMO.
