I'm going with Thursday Next. She's a very recent character (the first book in her series, The Eyre Affair, came out only five or six years ago) and she is, quite literally, a fictional detective. In the first book, Jane Eyre is kidnapped from Jane Eyre so Thursday has to go into the book to try and find out what happened and put her back in before reader's notice.
Thursday is sarcastic and witty, and the books themselves are the same way, with lots of word plays and metafiction going on. Really fun stuff.
In one of the later books she becomes an apprentice to Miss Havisham from Great Expectations and helps lead a group therapy session in Wuthering Heights :-P
