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?
