Poirot
Lehane, Denis
series about Kenzie and Gennaro
Dashiell Hammett worked at Pinkerton detective agency, so I'd recommend his stuff. Especially Red Harvest and The Thin Man.
NOT Original OP
What are some policial-detective books like Hannibal series?
Dark-sick-Gore?
Early Maigret.
definitely this
James Crumley - The Last Good Kiss
Andrew Vachss - Shella
Crime and Punishment

Inherent Vice is a fun read
It's steeped in fantasy, and literally judging by the cover would have you expecting a romance novel, but Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series has a comfy "dumb luck and decent wit gumshoe" feel. It had a tv adaptation (only got one season) that a friend of mine found on Netflix. I checked out the novels and wasn't disappointed in the least.
He is worse than Sherlock Holmes
On the Genealogy of Morality.
nightmare town is a good collection of short stories
Raymond Chandler and his Phillip Marlow stories are pretty damn good.
The big sleep has also been adapted to film very well if you want to check out how it translates.
I really like the Spencer series by Robert B. Parker. Really good fun reads when you're on the night train and feel like you're in a noir film.

When I was a teenager I read a lot of novels of this guy called Ellery Queen and I remember enjoying it. I'm afraid to try to read one now and discovering is shit.
Father Brown is nice
Agatha Chrisite has the best detective novels, most of them have a private investigator as mc.
Unironically this.
how good is Sherlock Holmes?
