The Corinna Chapman mysteries by Kerry Greenwood. They're about an ex-accountant baker in Melbourne. I love them because they have a fun cast of characters, are fat-positive, feminist and openly left-wing in a comfortable sort of way. There's also a very cool pagan main character.
(I also highly recommend her Phryne Fisher series, which is set in the 20's in Melbourne and is about an awesome lady aristocrat detective who spends most of her time being FUCKING FABULOUS, flying planes, wearing amazing clothes and drinking cocktails, saving women in distress and making love to beautiful, awestruck men - they're my #1 comfort read).
