There's 'The Alexandria Quartet' by Lawrence Durrell. While not a traditional detective story in the strictest sense, it has elements of mystery and is set in an academic and cultural milieu. It delves into the complex relationships and secrets among a group of people in Alexandria. And 'Q & A' by Vikas Swarup, which was later adapted into the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire', has a main character who uses his knowledge gained from various academic - like self - study experiences to answer questions and also solve a mystery related to his own past.

One popular book is 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco. It's set in a medieval monastery and involves a lot of religious and philosophical elements along with the detective work. Another is 'Gaudy Night' by Dorothy L. Sayers, which takes place in an all - female Oxford college and deals with academic intrigue.

Sure. 'The Dante Club' by Matthew Pearl is a great example. It combines the study of Dante's works with a series of murders in 19th - century Boston. The characters, who are Dante scholars, use their knowledge of the poet's works to solve the mystery. Also, 'The Janus Stone' by Elly Griffiths features an archaeologist - detective who uncovers secrets related to an ancient site while also dealing with academic politics and personal relationships.
