Oh, tough call. I know some of her books make some folks' Heyer-favorites list and (same books) worst-Heyer books, depending on their willingness to suspend disbelief (plot contrivances), or wanting books with adventure mixed in, or mystery/Gothic, or more conventional romances (she wrote some of each). Some of her heroines are too sharp-tongued for some readers, some are too passive. Smart heroine? Not so smart heroine? If you tell me more about your tastes I can try to recommend. Short of that, I'd say my favorites to re-read, for various reasons, are Frederica, The Masqueraders, The Talisman Ring, The Quiet Gentleman, A Civil Contract, Black Sheep (not The Black Moth).

Now I want to make a table chart of the Heyer books and their respective aspects!

Yeah. That sounds about right.
