Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

It is with great sorrow that the McCullough family shares the news that David died yesterday, Sunday, August 7, surrounded by his five children in Hingham, Mass. The McCullough family is very appreciative of the support during this difficult time and the support of his many readers throughout the years.

Barry, very sorry to hear this. He left a number of important books.

News of his death was an absolute gut punch. I listened to his biography of the Wright Brothers last year and loved it. I've got two of his other books - 1776 and The Pioneers - that I'm going to move up on my TBR.

This rocked me to my core when I heard it. David McCullough was a giant talent, and seemed like one of the good guys to boot.
