When Mystery Fiction meets either Historical Fiction or Period Piece—a mystery set in historical time. This enables the work to draw notice from both aficionados of mysteries and of historical fiction, and the attention to detail that is required in a good mystery can be put to good use in an environment that is both familiar and foreign at the same time.
At the same time, this makes good historical mysteries into a very hard genre to master—both historical and mystery fiction are noted as very demanding in the research needed. One of the challenges is that is often forces the detective to use the skill and assumptions of his time period, rather than modern investigative techniques. In settings where professional detectives would be anachronistic, the investigator is often an Amateur Sleuth. |

The Silence of Bones by June Hur takes in Joseon Dynasty Korea - 1800, that is - and focuses on a young damo (female police officer) assisting an experienced inspector in a politically-charged crime. It foreshadows the Catholic persecutions of 1801 and features/mentions several real-life people, such as Queen Regent Jeongsun, priest Zhou Wenmo, and Lady Kang Wan-Suk. |

The Enola Holmes Mysteries stars Enola Holmes as the 14-year-old kid sister of Sherlock Holmes. While the original Sherlock Holmes stories would not be considered historical fiction because they are contemporary to the time they were written, these stories were written in the 21st century. |

Enola Holmes and its sequel. The first film takes place at the time of the voting of the Representation of the People Act 1884 (or "Reform Bill") which extended suffrage in Victorian Britain. It's actually a pretty important plot point. |
