Perhaps she means Judith Merkle Riley?
Aha. I imagine that is the one. Still haven't read her, though.
Every time I read of another woman dying prematurely from one of the several female cancers, I am more in favor of proactive hysterectomies.
Ta, L.
I did. This was the first book of hers I read. My mother is a librarian and kept in on the shelf in her library for me for close to a decade. When she culled it I was allowed to buy it at the book sale. (I've got it in hardcover now.)

TNSTAFL. Remove the ovaries before they cause cancer and you increase the risk of heart disease.
There's no "o" in her name, it's Judith Merkle Riley. And she was brilliant and sadly missed.
Riley, Judith Merkle (says the Library of Congress author file). She taught management and wrote historical novels. I must make like a mongooose and run-and-find-out.
My library has a copy of The Serpent Garden so I've placed it on hold and will see if Ella is right.
I believe Ella got her name slightly wrong.
Did you mean Judith Merkle Riley?
You can find her on goodreads:

Very sad about her death several years ago. I actually know her brother very well, but never met her. I have several friends who who were devoted to her books.
