Modern Mystery Books with an Agatha Christie Feel

Posting this again because I realized I made a mistake in my original request ⭐

I've been reading Anthony Horowitz lately, and that's exactly the vibe I'm looking for: novels (standalones or series) with "old-school" mysteries in the spirit of Agatha Christie: clever puzzle plots, fair-play clues, and classic motives.

Please, suggest modern mysteries (2015-...)

Crime procedurals with an Agatha Christie Feel

I've been reading Anthony Horowitz lately, and that's exactly the vibe I'm looking for: crime novels or police procedurals (standalones or series) with "old-school" mysteries in the spirit of Agatha Christie: clever puzzle plots, fair-play clues, and classic motives.

I also enjoy Janice Hallett, even though her books are quite different in style. I tried Benjamin Stevenson, but his books didn't quite live up to my expectations.

I'm not looking for cozy mysteries (or at least nothing cozier than Horowitz's books). I'm after genuinely strong, well-constructed mysteries.

Edited: Please, suggest modern mysteries and don't recommend any books by the authors I've already mentioned. 😅

Which cozy show should I watch next?

I've been watching Harry Wild, which I'm really enjoying. The last show I watched was Art Detectives, which I enjoyed as well. I also watched Lynley a while ago, it was okay.

I love Ludwig, Magpie/Moonflower Murders, McDonald and Dodds, Miss Fisher, Frankie Drake Mysteries,The Marlow Murder Club...

I want to watch something "recent" and I don't want to watch something with +50 episodes, so which show should I watch next?

I prefer myseries similar to "Agatha Christie's", for example, I tried watching Signora Volpe, which wasn't bad but the cases were more like thriller/spy and I like my mysteries traditional.
