Jan Swafford's Beethoven: Anguish & Triumph was pretty great, and provided a nice balance of legibility and depth of information/background

I'm no music historian but I'm reading Jan Swafford's biography of Brahms, which I find is written well and makes for a good character study, so his book about Beethoven might suit you.
