Of course there is also Sara Paretsky, author of a series of novels featuring detective "V.I. Warshawski", beginning with "Indemnity Only", published in 1982.
And Sue Grafton, author of the series of mystery novels entitled "A is for Alibi", "B is for Burglar", "C is for Corpse", and so on.
And Patricia Cornwell--novels featuring Dr. Kay Scarpetta, medical examiner--I think this series made people interested in crime scene investigation. The first in the series was "Post Mortem".
Then, if you want something a bit different, there is an Israeli woman writing detective novels. Her name is Batya Gur. Books include "Saturday Morning Murder", which, by the way is about a murder at a psychoanalytic institute, "A Literary Murder", "Murder on the Kibbutz". and "Murder Duet". Unlike Cornwell, Grafton, and Paretsky, Gur's detective is a man.
