Falcón (2012) - A UK-Spain-Germany collaboration, set in Seville. Only 2 cases (4 episodes). Based on the Robert Wilson novels. Very atmospheric and constantly intriguing/ominous. Its mystique is added to by the fact it came and went so fleetingly.

Nick Slaughter in Tropical Heat.

Cheryl Ladd in One West Waikiki, that is "CSI under the sun".

Boston Blackie was also a radio show long before TV.

Mr. Palfrey of Westminster (UK 1984-85 short-lived 10 episode series), not exactly a "crime/detective show" but the character played by Alec McCowen (a proper British actor, like on the stage and all that - he didn't do much TV) was a spy catcher and it involved detective work and the spying he was countering was a crime.
