I'm a bit late with this, as I just found out. Her Merlin trilogy was a pivotal formative influence, as were her romantic suspense novels. Lots of intricate plotting, engaging characters, and an author's voice I enjoyed spending lots of time with were among her appeal.

Besides the Merlin Trilogy, I'd cite _Touch Not The Cat_ and _The Ivy Tree_ as particular favorites.

How about y'all?

Thanks for letting us know. It's been ages since I read the Merlin trilogy, but I really liked it.

I've not reread them in a while, but suspect they'd hold up very well. She wrote lots of engaging tales [speaking of, she said, while dodging the pouf proudly obstructing the keyboard].
