I'm not a mystery fan, either, but I am familiar with one author, though I don't know that she can be said to have written a series.
Jennifer Lee Carrell. She wrote a Shakespeare mystery set in modern times, Interred With Their Bones. Her main character is female, but not a detective, and you can't get much more British than Shakespeare. She has another one of the same type coming out in a few months, with the same main character (so maybe it is a series).
