In 'Miss Merkel,' Germany's former chancellor is a crime-solving amateur detective

https://text.npr.org/g-s1-19962

As the title suggests, Miss Merkel is a whodunnit that imagines the former chancellor as an Agatha Christie-style detective who starts solving crimes out of sheer boredom. For want of a G7 or European Union summit, Merkel is desperate to put down the garden shears and get back to solving something, anything! This time, it’s a village murder. Move over, Miss Marple!

Some Favorite Novel Series

First: the Phryne Fisher novels of Kerry Greenwood

Others please mention one or more of your favorite series.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phryne_Fisher

I've read all of these. There was a TV series based on these called Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. There was also, more recently, a movie: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears. the TV series Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries isn't really up to the same standard. Not horrible, but not great.
