Have you tried Anne Perry? I love both her Thomas & Charlotte Pitt books (although less so the last 2 or 3) and the Monk series, and there are about forty of them, which made a good year of reading for me when I discovered them.
I share your grief for Kate Ross. I've found Tasha Alexander and C.S. Harris similar, but not as completely engaging.
Perhaps my favorite is Barbara Hambly's Benjamin January books, starting with A Free Man of Color. She's created such a marvelous character and her depiction of 1830's New Orleans is just amazing in its richness and detail. She has a new book out under the name Barbara Hamilton, set in Colonial Boston and starring Abigail Adams. It's not my favorite period, but I'm eager to give it a shot.
