This is sad news. PD James was more than a great crime novelist; she was a great novelist beyond any genre.

Re: PD James, crime novelist, dies at 94
I have yet to read her Children of Men.
Very sad, yes, but looking at the number at least we can say: She had a long and productive life! (Thinking of Keats kind of throws things in perspective).
Rest in peace, Ms. James--
