Kerry Greenwood's Death Before Wicket
The 10th Phryne Fisher mystery has Phryne off to Sydney, to investigate a theft at the university (which is more complicated than it seems) and to track down a missing woman. I loved all the academic politics and especially adored the crankly old coot of a professor emeritus, who only cares about cricket. Since I don't know anything about cricket, I could have done with sliiiiiightly less of the play-by-play of the several games that occur, but that's ok, it kind of adds to the atmosphere. And it's interesting to note that in the first few books, the sex scenes very vague, but apparently Greenwood has gained confidence, because the last few have been VERY descriptive. B+.
