Moving from novels written to novels dramatized, one more series I can wholeheartedly recommend, as long as we agree that whodunits with action are adventure, is the A&E Nero Wolfe series produced in 2001 and 2002.
Generally, I avoid American TV crime and spy and generally mystery and thriller dramas because, at least as I see it, the Brits just do them so much better in adaptation to stage, characterization, casting, sets, etc. But one glaring exception, for which I am very proud to be an American, is this Nero Wolfe series, where Maury Chaykin and Timothy Hutton do for this series what Alec Guiness did for the dramatization of John Le Carre's best novels, the Karla trilogy: when you think of the character you think of the actor and you can't get around doing so. As of 10.28.2021, still available full-screen on Youtube and, if watched on Duck Duck Go, sans advertising interruptions. The dramatizations are good enough to make me want to seek out the novels. FWIW, my brief impressions of earlier dramatizations makes me want to avoid all but this ~2000 adaptation.
