I recommend Josephine Tey's excellent historical mysteries which can be found in the public domain. Lately I've been rereading Dick Francis mysteries as a guilty pleasure. His books do have some violence in them, but the focus is usually fraud or blackmail and are a wonderful glimpse behind the curtain of the horse racing world. Another I enjoyed recently is the first book of the Bruno, Chief of Police series by Martin Walker, set in a small village in France. It was half cozy and half crime novel.
