I started with 'To Say Nothing of the Dog'. It takes a bit to get acclimated, but is fantastic. I would then follow it up with 'Doomsday Book', followed by 'Blackout' and 'All Clear'. All in the same universe but very different.

I haven't read Bellwether yet. It is now top of my list!

My uncle introduced me to her with that book. That casting is absolutely perfect! Now I am sad that we can never see that on screen...

Passage is about what happens when you die. Main characters are studying near death experiences and the chemistry of the brain during them.

Agreed! Those four books are amazing. I suggest Passage as well as her collection of short stories.

That's fair. It's hard to put her books in to a single category. They are SF, historical fiction, and mystery all at once

First of all, please read All Clear (the second half to Blackout). Those two books (I count them as one) are some of my favorite reads of all time. Yes, the first book gets frustrating, but the payoff is more than worth it!
There are two more books in the same universe that are great. 'To Say Nothing Of The Dog' and 'Doomsday Book'. Both deal with time travel, but the first is light hearted and the second is tragic. All of them have a bit of Agatha Christie in them.

Black Out/ All Clear are my favorites. I'm a suckered for WW2 though. Haven't read Firewatch yet.

That's what has been so odd to to me. I know many people who love SF, and are much more read in the genre than me and none of them have heard of her.
