..I usually read Robert Parker (old spencer, love Jesse Stone), Harlen coben, and the csi novels (dont laugh at me!)... mostly mystery, who-done-its, witty not overly sex driven, strong characters. I've read everything from these people, as well as Patrcia cornwell. I read one by Johnathan Kellerman, but all his characters had the similar names and i was easily confused (other than that, great book).
Any Suggestions?!

Surely, you jest? Some of my favorite authors in this genre are: Stuart Woods-Stone Barrington series, James Doss' hero is a 7' tall Ute Indian, John Dunning writes the Cliff Janeway/Bookman series which I really enjoy and learn about certain books too. Paul Christopher is a new author to me his three books so far are:Michaelangelo's Notebook, The Lucifer Gospel and his most recent Rembrandt's Ghost all starring Flyn Ryan a young lady who really makes the series move. Enjoy.
P.S, If you ever start reading thrillers(which are fast-paced mysteries) try these authors also: Matthew Reilly, Jack DuBrul, Clive Cussler, James Rollins and also Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child writing together or separately.

Sherlock Holmes is the best answer, in part because they are all free in PDF format online, and in part because they are right up your alley - forensic investigation, etc.
Isaac Asimov is also a good answer - look for the Elijah Bailey books http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah_Baley . They are *really* good, about a detective working in future New York.
Other than that, I would recommend Agatha Christie. These are not excellent, in general, but almost always good or very good - in other words, well worth the read. You can probably get a collection cheaply, and they may even be available online now.

If you like mystery then perhaps you would like Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
