#1. The Ruby in The Smoke by Philip Pullman
Set in turn of the century London, this is the first book in the Sally Lockhart series, a smart and gritty heroine fans of Veronica Mars will admire.
Sally Lockhart's father was an unconventional man who preferred to teach his daughter how to run a business and shoot straight from a pistol, rather than school her in the social graces expected of a young lady. When he dies suddenly and unexpectedly, on a voyage to the Far East, Sally receives a mysterious letter containing a strange warning - one that is to lead to yet another unexpected death.

#5. Manor of Secrets by Katherine Longshore
The year is 1911. And at The Manor, nothing is as it seems. Think Downton Abbey meets The Prince and the Pauper.
