Contemporary: The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp by Leonie Swann (her first book, Three Bags Full is brilliant). If you like historical cozy mysteries: Ashley Weaver's Electra McDonnell series, Allison Montclair's Sparks & Bainbridge series, Jennifer Ashley's Below Stairs series.
Whole series beginning with “The Murder of Mr. Wickham”, bringing together all of Austen’s heroines & husbands, plus two offspring as the main detectives.
I read all the Dorothy Sayers mysteries this year (if we don't just mean novels that were published in 2024). The Nine Tailors was the big winner for its fantastically clever hiding-in-plain-sight killer.

I'm saving it for a rainy day. Which won't be anytime soon, since I live in AZ.
