Okay, so Nestor Burma can fit, since he was translated for a short while in England ! I could add Brigitte Aubert's protagonist from "Death in the woods" ‹ I saw an English edition of her novels. For the record, her narrator is blind and mute, but a whole story ‹ a psycho stalking children ‹ revolves around her. Fascinating stuff ! She won the biggest mystery prize in France for this one, and rightly so. On the other hand, I don't know if Valerio Evangelisti or Andrea Camillieri are translated in EnglishŠ
