Even if you're focusing on amateurs, I can't help recommending that
most bumbling and ghastly of professionals, Chief Inspector Dover from
Joyce Porter's canon.
Porter's amateur detective "Hon. Con." (the Honourable Constance
Ethel Morrison-Burke) is equally bumbling and ghastly in comparable
ways, but there are fewer books in the series and I don't think
any have been in print recently in the US.

Lovell, Marc. The Appleton Porter spy series. Apple is a spy for Great
Britain whose superior, as I recall, gives him impossible assignments in
hopes that he'll not survive.
Jeffries, Roderic. The Inspector Enrique Alvarez series. Set on the island
of Mallorca, Alvarez perhaps is less bumbling than lazy but is perceived by
others to be bumbling.
Both series are wonderfully humerous.

Jill Churchill's Jane Jeffreys series is great. Jane is a cross between
Miss Marple and Erma Bombeck. The book titles are: The Class Menagerie
A Farewell to Yarns
A Knife to Remember
A Quiche Before Dying
From Here to Paternity
Grime and Punishment
Silence of Hams
War and Peas
A Groom with a View
Fear of Frying
Merchant of Menace
Ayelet Waldman has a series with Juliet Applebaum as its character. She's a
stay-at-home ex-lawyer who has a toddler and is pregnant with her second
child. She has the child in her second book. Hilarious reading.
Nursery Crimes
The Big Nap
A Playdate with Death (due out in June, 2002)
Tamar Myers has a series of books featuring Magdalena Yoder, a 40 something
mennonite woman who is owner of the Pennsylvania Dutch Inn. A real hoot!
Her books include:
Too Many Crooks Spoil the Broth
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Crime
No Use Dying Over Spilled Milk
Just Plain Pickled to Death
Between a Wok and a Hard Place
Eat Drink and Be Wary
Play it Again Spam
The Hand that Rocks the Ladle
The Crepes of Wrath
Gruel and Unusual Punishment
Rick Hanson's Adam McFleet series is funny, too. Adam is an ex-marine,
ex-cop and all he wants to do is be a sculptor. His crazy sister Margot
keeps getting him into hot water. His books include:
Spare Parts
Mortal Remains
Still Life
Splitting Heirs
Extreme Odds
