I have only a vague memory of this but if it's the one I'm thinking of the heroine's comment about cheating at cards was a superb punchline to all that angst and guilt!
These Old Shades -- always a bit disappointing to me because of Leon turning out to be Leonie, though obviously she had to be. A bit of slashy titillation along the way, though.
But I love Devil's Cub, one of her best, I think. Mary is very engaging.
Other favorites: Venetia (most of all), A Civil Contract, The Unknown Ajax, Friday's Child.
The Black Moth -- spoiler!
