There's a great series by Kerry Greenwood, the Phryne Fisher stories. They are set in Melbourne in the 1920's. Phryne is young, rich and beautiful and solves crimes with the help of her Chinese lover, companion Dot and two wharfies among others. They are great fun and for the Aussies out there Phryne is a dead ringer for Claudia from the ABC'x Collectors. I assume they would be available outside Oz but don't know if they are as ebooks.
PS How did I get the squares under my user name that come up with a message?
