So the Martin Beck novels by Sjowall / Wahloo are probably on your radar then, for mystery fans that have not seen them they are worth reading.

Also Seishi Yokomizo is a Japanese mystery author that may appeal to Christie fans

Henning Mankell's Wallander books are just great. Made into a fantastic series starring Kenneth Branagh. I also enjoy Arnaldur Indridasson (Iceland) though many might find them a bit too slow and introspective.

Yep, I've read a bit of Martin Beck and Harry Hole.
