She will be missed

American author Barbara Seranella died on Sunday, details can be found on her website.

Barbara wrote a wonderful series starring Munch Mancini, former LA biker turned car mechanic. All the more startling really as they are based on the author's own experiences but toned down for publication. In the first one, 'No Human Involved' Munch is at a very low point and is accused of murder and as the series progresses her life begins to turn around. I've read the first five of the eight - I tend to stockpile my favourite authors - so I don't know how she ends up yet. Something to remedy, albeit with sadness.

The full list is:

No Human Involved
No Offence Intended
No Offence Intended
Unwanted Company
Unfinished Business
No Man Standing
Unpaid Dues
Unwilling Accomplice
An Unacceptable Death

In the UK Robert Hale has printed the later ones and they should be available in public libraries. Definitely worth reading in order if at all possible.

I don't know if there are any unpublished Munch books but what was to be the first in a new series is due out in April - 'Deadman's Switch'.
