The Doomsday Book is SF with (IMO) weak characterisation and plotting.

A Plague on Both Your Houses is a historical mystery, with a (possibly overly complicated) plot and good characters.

I think it's rather better in its depiction of the Black Death.

I much preferred this one to the Connie Willis book.
