Rebecca Rothenberg, talented musician, epidemiologist, and Agatha and Anthony nominee for The Bulrush Murders, would have been 59 today (she died in 1998 of a brain tumor), and her class and grace are sorely missed.Rothenberg's mystery series, which includes The Dandelion Murders and The Shy Tulip Murders, features microbiologist Claire Sharples. Her friend Taffy Cannon completed the manuscript for her last novel, The Tumbleweed Murders (2001).
