Although some say these are *too* cute

Carola Dunn -- Daisy Dalrymple
Dorothy Gilman -- Mrs. Pollifax series
Lee Harris (Syrell Leahy) -- former nun Christine Bennett
Joan Hess -- Claire Malloy and Maggody series
Landrum, Graham -- Garden Club Mystery
Richard and Francis Lockridge -- Mr. & Mrs. North books

These are older, and fall somewhat between Braun and Grafton in tone I'd say

Charlotte MacLeod
John Mortimer -- Rumpole books
Sister Carol Anne O'Marie -- Sister Mary Helen
Katherine Hall Page -- Faith Fairchild
Elizabeth Peters -- Amelia Peabody, Vicky Bliss, Jacqueline Kirby, standalones.

The series in particular are heavy on the whimsy factor which is so prevalent in the Cat Who... books

Sheila Simonson -- Lark Dodge
Christie, Sayers, Allingham, Tey -- the cozy classics

Non-mysteries:

Jan Karon -- Mitford books
Lorene McCourtney
Lori Wick
