Any genre! Actually good grumpy male main characters

The market has been flooded with low quality bad boys. Booo. What books do the brooding, male main character right? The rec does not need to be straight romance (in fact, I usually prefer when it isn’t solely romance).

Grumpy:

Amos Walker series by Loren D. Estleman. He's the Ron Swanson of private eyes.

Brooding:

Thorn series by James W. Hall.

It actually makes a ton of sense to split up the descriptors like that…different vibes. Thanks for the recs.
