Possibly not truly qualifying as a fannish 50, but I have read all four of the Hilary Tamar legal mysteries, and if I'm going to reach Fifty in total then this is going to count.

Professor Hilary Tamar is an Oxford tutor of legal history.  The stories are written in the first person and the name is specifically chosen so that the professor could be either male or female - Hilary being an accepted male name in England at certain times.  The other main characters are a group of young lawyers in London: Serena, Julia, Cantrip and Ragwort.

The books are amusing in parts, although I don't find them as funny as some do.  The stories all involve legal questions, although the essentials are explained, so no legal knowledge is required.

If you're looking for a fairly light-hearted mystery, with the accompanying corpse, then these books might well fit that gap.
