If you do try any of her work, ask for recommendations first. Because she was under pressure to write to support her family, some aren't as good as others. Only the first few books are as melodramatically romantic as du Maurier's books and even then, Heyer has more wit and more observation in her books. The Black Moth for example, isn't a particularly good book but when you think the author was only 19 when she wrote it and went on to get it published, it's pretty impressive. But it's still one for the fans to go back to rather than a good one to start with.
