Queen of Suspense Phyllis A. Whitney has died. It's always sad to hear of the death of an idol, and Phyllis was one of mine. When I was a kid, she made writing seem glamorous to me, not only with her worldly and exciting novels, but with the ladylike pictures of her on every jacket.
I reflected on a life of reading Phyllis at Poe's Deadly Daughters today.

Phyllis Whitney will be missed. I loved her juvenile mysteries, my favorite being MYSTERY OF THE HAUNTED POOL and I loved HUNTER'S GREEN and THE RED CARNELIAN.
It's amazing that she was 104. My she rest in peace.
You know, I don't think I read any of her juvenile mysteries. I'll have to give one a try. Such a prolific writer!
I read her books all through high school! Do you suppose I'd still like them today? I know she wrote some later on that I haven't read. Should we have a Phyllis Whitney ReadaLong just for old time's sake? I'll have to go dredge up a list before I commit to that. :)

That would be fun!
Does anyone know if Phyllis had a book that mentioned three weeping ladies?
Hmm--do you mean in the title or in the book? You can find a list of all her adult suspense here:http://www.phyllisawhitney.com/adultsuspenselist.htm
