Other Victorian mystery writers like Brightwell, Paige, and Perry:

Bernard Bastable
Carole Nelson Douglas (?)
Mark Frost
Ray Harrison
Alanna Knight
Peter Lovesey
Amy Myers

(These are listed as readalikes on a couple of library websites.)

This page of readalikes for A. Perry and E. Peters might also help, as it lists
one of Kingsburg's books. http://www.tulsalibrary.org/Research/books/perry.htm
and has links to a webcat.

There was a variety of time periods and "coziness" represented in the
authors given, so here are some suggestions:

Charles Todd (Inspector Rutledge series, post-WWI England)

Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody series, Edwardian Egyptologist)

Laurie King (fictious second wife of Sherlock Holmes)

Stephanie Barron (Jane Austen mystery series)

Dianne Day (turn-of-century San Francisco female detective)

Rhys Bowen (Molly Murphy, turn-of-century New York)

Gillian Linscott (Nell Bray, turn-of-century England)

M.C. Beaton (Agatha Raisin series)

Nancy Atherton (Aunt Dimity series)

Carola Dunn (Daisy Dalrymple series)

Jeanne Dams (Dorothy Martin series

It sounds like your interest is in Victorian mystery with a female lead. So
I would suggest Miriam Grace Monfredo's Seneca Falls series, Laurie King's
Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series, and Dianne Day's Fremont Jones.
