Georgette Heyer has some nice murder mysteries set in the early 1900s.
Also, if you're willing to do Regency (English 1700s and early 1800s) historical fiction, she has a lot of well-researched, very funny historical romances. They're lighthearted fluff with lots of humor and happy endings. I've found them to be much better at the actual historical parts than typical Regency fiction, which usually have at least a few complete anachronisms.
