I wanted to get into those Rogue Angel books because they sound like exactly my thing. But the one I tried was so badly written that I couldn't force myself to finish it, and I'm not usually picky about that type of thing.
The Amelia Peabody books are pretty fantastic. They're historical mysteries about a woman who becomes an egyptian archeologist. The author is actually an Egyptologist herself, so there's a lot of great detail. The stories follow Amelia and her family through many years, and the later books get into a lot of different styles (for example, there's one that's heavily influenced by H. Rider Haggard novels, and others stray into World War I era espionage).
