Actually a fairly interesting list, with good detail. It leaves out Judge Dee, who might be considered de rigueur in such an assembly, but that actually makes the list more original. "Emil and the Detectives" (#4) is a FANTASTIC book that had a deep influence on me as a child. (Henry Winterfeld's "Detectives in Togas" set in Ancient Rome is somewhat similar, and Winterfeld was probably taking some cues from his fellow German Kastner.)

Judge Dee should be on the list. Maybe they'll do a "Ten More . . . ." list. I agree about EMIL.

Patrick got to Judge Dee before I could. Marvelous books.

I should have mentioned that Peter Bowen's Gabriel duPre books are alslo very good.
