Detective novels writer Susie Steiner dies aged 51
Her first novel, 2013's Homecoming, was well received by critics. That was followed by Missing, Presumed, which was a Sunday Times bestseller and chosen as a standout book for The Guardian and Wall Street Journal.
The sequel, Persons Unknown, along with the third book in the DS Bradshaw series, 2020's Remain Silent, were both longlisted for the Theakstons prize.that she had written Remain Silent with a "nine-centimetre tumour pushing my brain over its midline. But I didn't know about it".She wrote in the Independent in 2016:
"My sight loss, which has begun to limit me only in the last five years, has accompanied an increase in my creative output as a novelist. The two seem intertwined, as if the less I can see of the world, the more I can focus inwardly.
Her publisher, Suzie Dooré, told the newspaper: "Susie was an extraordinary person and a wonderful writer. Personally, I am proud to have also counted her as a friend, and will always remember and cherish her quick wit and brutal honesty, both attributes she was able to pass on to her series character Manon Bradshaw.
"A train trip to a festival with Susie was guaranteed to bring hilarity, oversharing, Percy Pigs and mini bottles of wine. She was truly unique, full of warmth and incredibly perceptive."
