With little more than an urge to hang out at the beach, write mystery novels and calm a cat experiencing his first car ride, Sue McGinty left Los Angeles June 17, 1994, the same day OJ Simpson took his infamous ride. Unlike OJ, Sue had a destination in mind: the Central Coast hamlet of Los Osos. Not the Cabot Cove of "Murder She Wrote," but close. Her California Central Coast mysteries include "Murder in Los Lobos," "Murder at Cuyamaca Beach," "Murder in Mariposa Bay," and "Murder in a Safe Haven." Her short fiction has been featured in four Sisters in Crime Central Coast chapter mysteries.
