One characteristic is the setting. They are usually set in a specific historical period, like the Victorian era or the Middle Ages. This gives a unique backdrop for the mystery. For example, in 'The Name of the Rose', the medieval monastery setting affects everything from the characters' beliefs to the methods of investigation. Another is that the detective often has to deal with the social norms and limitations of that historical time. In 'The Alienist', the detective in 1896 New York has to work within the constraints of the technology and social attitudes of that era.

I'd recommend 'An Instance of the Fingerpost' by Iain Pears. It's set in 17th - century Oxford and involves multiple narrators and a complex murder mystery. 'The Chinese Maze Murders' by Robert van Gulik is also good. It's based on ancient Chinese detective stories and has an oriental charm. And then there's 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie, which is set on a train journey through Europe in the 1930s and is full of twists and turns.
