Interesting set of books. The one that stood out to me was Lady Eve's Last Con--because of course there was a very famous classic 1940s screwball comety about a con artist, one of whose personas is Lady Eve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_Eve
I have never read the Aubrey Maturin books myself, but I understand they're very good. Mind the timeline; the first six books follow the events of history, and then the author realized he was running out of war sooner than he was running out of stories, and so for most of the rest of the series it was perpetually 1813. Sort of a time loop situation.
