What's a good (urban) fantasy novel set in a Victorian/Belle epoque/Roaring 20s milieu?

Looking for a gift for my wife and feel somewhat uninspired.

There's the Diviners series by Libba Bray. Set in the 20s, it's about a group that falls into doing paranormal investigations. She has another series, Gemma Doyle, that's set in the Victorianish age. It's YA, but I found it compelling and sumptuous.

The Dangerous Damsels series by India Holton. Actually, I guess that's more steampunk. But pirates and flying houses in Victoriana!

@DejahEntendu looking into the Dangerous Damsels one, that seems like something she might like

I can't remember when it's set, but Sorcerer to the Crown, by Zen Cho was fun too.

If she hasn't read any Gail Carriger, her books are a hoot!

I was looking for a different one that I can't find. I went back about 4 years in my reading list. I should probably be working...

@kyonshi I think "Soulless" by Gail Carriger may fit that bill.

@canneddirt so well in fact that she already has that one.
