I've read only a few Kate Wilhelm novels, but they've all been quite good. "Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang" is required reading, dealing with cloning and the end of the world. The other two tales of apocolypse ("Juniper Time" & "Welcome, Chaos") are also very good and recommended. However, I found "Crazy Time" to be disappointing, with the characterizations just a bit off (the ?major? was just too stereotyped to be tolerated). Her one series is an interesting mixture of SF & Mystery genres (that I haven't read). [C] == Short Story Collection. [CP] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet)..
