Murder on Astor Place. http://www.amazon.com/Victoria-Thompsons-Gaslight-Order/lm/3M0TBOKK1NS5C

Great series, she's a midwife who is always getting into mysteries to solve. It's turn of the century and it takes you to a different part of New York City in each novel.

Rhys Bowen- i have read the Molly Murphy series and it's the cat's meow! It has an Irish immigrant named Molly who has come to America for a better life. She decides to take a job as a Private Investigator and befriends a pair of Feminists who live and love together. This is a really funny series.

She also has a series called the Royal Spyness series. It involves a young Lady who is in line to the British throne, but so far back that she'll never be Queen. She's also a bit poor and has to find ways to get enough money for marmalade. Very enjoyable and a fast read.
