I liked all of David Crooks' books. They cover a variety of topics, but are all historical fiction usually based on a true story.
In the mystery genre, it is hard to beat Vicki Tyley's books. Very well-written, taut, suspense stories. I think of her as the Australian P.D. James.
Also in historical fiction, if you are willing to go for a New Zealander, try the books by Shayne Parkinson. Nearly everyoine I know who has read her books has praised them.
