For the book recommendations, you might try Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Count St. Germain series. They're historical with mystery and fantasy elements thrown in (I say fantasy only because the main character is a vampire; however, he's not anything like the current crop of urban fantasy vampires). Repeating characters (two to four, depending on which book); there are 27 books in the series (more or less; 3 are a trilogy with one of the side characters, IIRC). Each book has a cast of 2-4 main characters and 4-10 secondary ones.
Here's a list of the books in chronological order by the events in the series (rather than the order they were published in):
