I like Hyperion Cantos and Endymion Cantos. Ilium+Olympos are less enjoyable but still good if you're left wanting more.

Alex Benedict is an antique dealer living 9,000 years in the future. When his archaeologist uncle dies, he’s left with his uncle’s unfulfilled final mission, but that mission is shrouded in mystery. Benedict returns, book after book, to solve space artifact puzzles in a time when humans are combating a clever enemy. The whole series reads as if Isaac Asimov had written Sherlock Holmes.
