Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on May 02, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Martha Grimes! May your day be filled with more twists and turns than a Richard Jury mystery. You've kept us guessing for decades, crafting clever plots and unforgettable characters that have made Scotland Yard proud (and slightly jealous). Your knack for suspense is so sharp, even Inspector Jury himself would tip his hat in admiration.

Here's hoping your birthday celebration is as delightful as the quirky pubs you've immortalized in your novels. May you continue to unravel life's mysteries with wit and charm—just don't let Melrose Plant plan the party unless you're ready for some mischief!
