The detective, William of Baskerville, has to solve a series of murders while also dealing with religious and philosophical debates. 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' by James M. Cain is also a great read. It's a noir - style story with a lot of twists and turns. And 'The Long Goodbye' by Raymond Chandler is a classic Philip Marlowe story with a complex mystery.
Definitely consider 'Death on the Nile' by Agatha Christie. It has all the elements of a great Christie mystery - a luxurious setting, a diverse cast of characters and a puzzling murder. 'The Cuckoo's Calling' by J.K. Rowling (writing as Robert Galbraith) is also very good. Cormoran Strike is an interesting detective character.

Yes. 'The Windup Girl' by Paolo Bacigalupi has a detective - ish element as the characters try to figure out the truth behind a genetically engineered girl in a post - apocalyptic world. 'Annihilation' by Jeff VanderMeer is also among the best. The exploration of the Area X is like a detective's exploration into the unknown. And 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel, while more about a post - apocalyptic world in general, has characters who are piecing together what happened much like detectives.
