Detective/crime book recommendations?

Any avid readers here?

I just finished Troubled Blood by Robert Galbriath (JK Rowling). First ever adult detective/crime fiction I have actually read. Absolutely loved it. Going to pick up the others in the series for definite but also interested in reading some other authors.

Don’t care how gruesome etc
Not into short snappy stories.
Love a large overarching plot with twists and turns etc
Would like there to be at least a sub-hint of romance between characters.

Any ideas book misc?

I don't read books, but I'll never not recommend Naoki Urasawa's work when it comes to crime dramas.

It’s nonfiction but Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper—Case Closed is good.
