Actual Whodunit Mysteries - Do They Still Make Them?


I love the mystery genre. Sherlock Holmes has been one of my great inspirations since I was a child. I've been intrigued by others over the years as well. However, if there is one thing I truly miss, it's finding honest whodunit mysteries. So few television mysteries these days are whodunits of the type that actually provide the clues for the viewer to try and discover. Sure, the stories are still compelling. Some of the twosts are just awesome. Depending on the show, the acting may even been top-notch. But I find myself still wanting a chance to figure the mystery out for myself as well.

So, my question is, does anyone around here know of any mystery series that still hold to the viewer-detective model? I'm looking for compelling mysteries in which the clues are indeed part of the story for the keen observer to pick up on.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
