I need my Fandorin fix, man. I enjoy variety of genres and variety of mysteries, but I haven't found anything like Erast Fandorin series by Boris Akunin. Features I'm looking for: intelligent and flowing prose, good historical background (bonus point for non-English, non-US focus, but it's not a must), mystery plot that is not terrible.
Series are ok, but standalone novels are also fine.
