My favorite was The Historian by her, but its also her longest work (and imo best).

If you like historical crime, there are the Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters (set in Egypt primary, turn of the century) and the Father Cadfael books by Ellis Peters (he's a monk). Agatha Christie's books are also generally excellent to read, quite devious, and they're set around WW2-ish. She wrote for decades. They were contemporary at the time, but are definitely more historical now.
