See, that's probably why I often avoid the genre at the moment - random fic is often formulaic... I had a phase of really enjoying Alaskan-set crime stories (before and just as I went to Alaska, of course... *g*) but I think before that it was probably Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh and all, way back when... Those babes did it so well that the more stereotyped stuff is kind of a let down, there's got to be something else to it that grabs me...
