Posting an excerpt from an email that arrived today with this sad news. I spent a lot of money in Kate's store!

"For mystery readers who remember Kate's Mystery Books, on Mass Ave in Cambridge, let me pass along the news that Kate Mattes died in Vermont on April 1st. Kate's was a regular stop for so many mystery readers until she closed the shop in 2009. Kate was a champion of Boston area mystery writers and helped Sara Paretsky launch Sisters in Crime, an organization that promotes the advancement of women crime writers." LINK to a remembrance
