I just read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and it was my first Historical Fiction since high school. Usually I read thrillers but I LOVED this novel and am looking for similar books that I can get lost in. Specifically WW2 but if you have any recommendations please give a brief summary and I’ll check them out!

Clive Cussler and collaborators have a historical fiction series about the detective Isaac Bell, taking place in the early 1900s.
There’s also some really lengthy forays into historical fiction in some of his other novels, since Cussler loves writing about stuff happening decades or centuries ago (sometimes even a thousand years) that leads to some mystery his modern protagonists can solve, or some treasure they can find. But as those rarely take up more than 15% or so of those books, the 1900s detective series is likely the closest to what you’re after.
