What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?

I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?

    Mystery author Lisa Gardner. Her D.D. Warren series was fun but nothing special. When she spun off side character Frankie Elkin into her own series starting with Before She Disappeared, the books got really compelling!
