I'm shocked to hear of Mari Hall's passing. I had no idea
that she had cancer. Did I miss mention of her illness on the
list or did she just keep it to herself like one of the stoic
heroes of the crime fiction she admired?
I met Mari a few years ago at Left Coast Crime and she
impressed me as a friendly, knowledgable fan of hardboiled
fiction. A true believer. And, as she would probably like to
be remembered, "A tough, classy dame."
I'll miss Mari's informed, supportive, presence in the
mystery community, a community which just grew considerably
smaller.
