The Stephanie Plum series from Janet Evanovich fits those criteria. I'm not the biggest fan, but I know lots of people love 'em. Starts with One for the Money.
Quite welcome! Nora Roberts is I think technically considered romance (suspense thriller? romantic thriller?), but they're not the bodice ripping Harlequin type -- they're what we used to read before "paranormal ass-kicking female lead urban fantasy romances" were a thing. Similar authors are Sandra Brown and Catherine Coulter; if you google any of the three and "FBI" or "police officer" you can find books by them with a mystery bent. Sorry I can't recommend a specific book but they're kind of popcorn reading and it's been a while. But maybe these will lead your group to an appreciation for mysteries in general that you can nurture. Especially since a lot of cozies have romances!
Just to add to that last edit from yesterday, I'm thinking of picking up Twenties Girl by Kinsella -- it looks pretty adorable and the reviews are great.
Also, the one I read by Evanovich was One for the Money. I thought it was pretty decent -- kind of like Grafton but breezier. I should really finish that series one of these days to see if it gets deeper.
I've never been big on romances either (I'm a fellow mystery and fantasy buff) but my sister would occasionally leave them lying around and you know how it is!
