I have to put in a quick advertisement (say it with a British accent...) for the four mysteries by Sarah Caudwell, featuring that incomparable Oxford don, Hilary Tamar.
I also adore this series - the writing is SO donnish - you can just hear your favorite Masterpiece Theater actor speaking the dialogue.

On a side note, this series is also notable in that Caudwell never explicitly identifies Hilary Tamar's gender. See if you can find any place in the story where Tamar is referred to as him/her .... or where there is any gender-specific reference to clothes, etc.
