The Crime Lady: Linda Millar; Party For One Thanksgiving Reading; and More

Dear TCL Readers: For years I have wondered about Linda Millar, daughter of the crime writers Ross Macdonald and Margaret Millar. I have wondered about what it was like to be raised by two prominent, difficult, tormented, troubled people who never hesitated to mine their daughter’s life for their work. I have wondered about her adolescence, which included a hit-and-run accident leading to the death of one boy and the near-death of another, a disappearance that made national headlines (yes, that's Macdonald holding a photo of Linda as part of an appeal to find her during her summer 1959 vanishing), and a life that ended abruptly fifty years ago this month, when she, just thirty-one, died in her sleep.
