Haven't read it yet, but James R. Benn's Billy Boyle WWII series might be worth a look.

I just finished reading two mystery series set on the home front during World War II: Sandra Scoppettone's Faye Quick series (two books), and Kathryn Miller Haines's Rosie Winter series (four books). Faye is a PI in NYC, keeping the business running for her boss, who's been shipped out. Rosie is a struggling actress in NYC; in one of the books she's in the South Pacific on a USO tour. Both series have lots of period details.

For nonfiction, I recently noticed an interesting-looking title: Over Here! New York City During World War II, by Lorraine B. Diehl.
