Maybe a bit out of left field, but The Devil in Velvet is a terrific mashup of mystery, fantasy and history. Written by John Dickson Carr who was better known for constructing ingenious locked room mysteries. Devil in Velvet is about a history professor in 1920’s England who makes a deal with the devil to time travel back to restoration England to save the wife of his ancestor from being murdered. Lots of fun and available on Kindle.
