Thanks for letting us know. It wasn't on the google
news when I went online before.
I haven't read any of her mystery novels--when I
mentioned that to a bookstore patron she said they
weren't that good--but I validated First Ladies, her
biographies of presidents' wives and interestin
personal facts about their husbands, and it is very
well-written, with humorous and personal asides. After
reading it, I felt as if I knew her.
