The Storied Life of Harriet Hicks
Oct. 25th, 2020 11:31 amI've discovered a new crime author - but sadly, only as her mysterious disappearance and death is being announced:

Not far from where the video was filmed but several decades earlier, Agatha Christie also disappeared for a short time. Happily she later re-appeared and over the course of her life and beyond, became the author whose books out-sold all except the bible and the works of Shakespeare.
I'm ordering copies of any of Harriet Hicks' works that are available at affordable prices. Perhaps they will be re-issued although the question of her survivors, the fate of the copyright and who would stand to benefit from any re-releases remains unclear.
For those of us in our sixties and beyond, her story also serves as an uncomfortable cautionary tale and a reminder to ensure we have our affairs in order before it's too late.
