I loved Shards of Honor and Barrayar but was extremely put off by annoying bouncy Miles in The Warrior's Apprentice so I don't recommend reading that next. Then I found Komarr in a charity shop, gave them another go, and loved that and A Civil Campaign. Though I still want to slap Miles fairly often. I'm now trying to go back and fill in the gaps.
My problem with Patrick Merrick was initially only having the school stories and not getting hold of Peter's Room until I was 20, so quite how he switched from Nicola to Ginty was never clear. As a child, I liked him in End of Term, thought he was hard done by in Attic Term and just ignored all the soppy stuff with Ginty and Claudie, which was probably just as well.
Re. Ngaio Marsh. Death in a White Tie has the most Alleyn & Troy and Artists in Crime is the one in which they meet. I'm relieved it was those two I found in my parents' bookcases first and that I only unearthed Death in Ecstasy a couple of Christmasses ago or I probably wouldn't have read any more.
