Author Sue Grafton has died after a two-year battle with cancer, her daughter announced Friday.

The mystery writer passed away Thursday night, Grafton’s daughter, Jamie, said in a Facebook post.

“Although we knew this was coming, it was unexpected and fast,” the post said. “She had been fine up until just a few days ago, and then things moved quickly.”

Grafton was known for her detective novels, including “‘A’ Is for Alibi.”

She was 77.
