A Civil Campaign, and Pride and Prejudice, are likely my top two most re-read books. So If this "Gaudy Night" mentioned above stands with them, I will be starting it today (and perforce, the 9 books preceding it undoubtedly). I'm grateful for this hopeful infusion to my reading list.
You don't necessarily have to read all 9 before that one (although they are all good), but I do recommend reading at least Strong Poison and Have His Carcase for important context going into Gaudy Night. You're in for a treat!
Freddy becomes surprisingly sensible, which is part of what makes his character so much fun.
Love all the ones you mentioned. However, recently I finally took on her historical about William the Conqueror. I am usually not a fan of the more serious historical novels. They are usually focused on battles when the really interesting bits are what led up to the battles. I thought Heyer did a really good job, kept my interest, gave me good perspective on the life and times.
