In my opinion, the queen of them all is Agatha Christie. The Poirot Series on PBS bears that out. And Then There Were None (Ten Little Indians), also a great classic. With Poirot she invented bringing all the subjects together at the end to announce the murderer.

My second favorite is Collin Dexter, author of Morse

Actually, it's on PRIME. But yes, it's a great series.

...have tried for years to enjoy Mystery and other genre novels but just can't get into them.

They all start off OK but then it feels like the author was just making it up as they went along.

If you expand the topic slightly from mystery to crime, my favorite by far is Michael Connelly.

And, for those who hadn't heard, the Bosch series continues as Bosch: Legacy on the free-to-watch (but with commercials) Amazon Freevee channel. The first series is out in its entirety now, and it's been announced that it will return for a second season. All the key characters return played by the same actors, and quality is just as good as the six-year series on Prime. Michael Connelly is one of the executive producers.
