I'd like some Recommendations for Crime and investigations books but not drama ... Better with Funny hero detective or something like that
I read James Patterson and he's amazing
but i want some humor in the story :D


Also Adventure/archaeologist books with Indiana Jones or Journey to the centre of the earth Styles
"I didn't read Journey to the centre of the earth... i meant the general idea of the story"

Modern books or at least easy written light-hearted books

Hope someone help me :)

Sounds like you enjoy cozies (cozy mysteries). Here are a few that will have your abs working overtime:

    Miss Fortune series by Jana Deleon
    Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich


If you like paranormal with your cozies:
    The Psychic Eye series by Victoria Laurie
    Jayne Frost series by Kristen Painter


Also, check out these romantic suspense series. They're both long-running, follow the same couple throughout, and have a female detective lead with quirks, flaws, and wit. However, both have drama in their own way (beyond the sometimes gritty details of the murder case). I've listed the main "drama" below.

    In Death series by J.D. Robb (Eve Dallas has a traumatic past that's revealed over time)
    Fatal series by Marie Force (Sam Holland is abducted—book 8, I think.)

I love the "In Death" books, but there isn't a funny main character in any of them. Mavis is a hoot, but she's a supporting character. Peabody is also good for a few laughs because of the strong contrast between her background and Eve's. But those books are nothing like the Miss Fortune series. Just to let you know.

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, and also her Diesel series
J.D. Robb's In Death series

If you're not opposed to Paranormal/Urban Fantasy then I'd check out C.E. Murphy's Urban Shaman series and Kay Hooper's Bishop-Special Crime Unit series as well
