The Alex Benedict books are very strange, they're set in the distant future but they're basically archaeological/antiquarian mysteries of things in the not quite so distant future: not much action involved, it's mostly research in archives and asking the right questions, and a little field work. It's definitely very dry, but it's also interesting.

I admit it, I'm a bit burned out on epic fantasy at the moment. I reread all the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books (minus the prequel) over the past year and reread The Ember Blade last month (and read the first half of its sequel), and I need a change of pace to get me energized to finish The Shadow Casket and get into Sanderson's WoT books. So, a bit of cozy far future space mystery-archeology sounds about right.
