Peter Benchley dead at age 65

[Barb]

Author Peter Benchley, most famous for his 1974 novel "Jaws," died Sunday at the relatively young age of 65.

Obituary


I've read most of his work including Jaws, Creature, and Beast. Writing is evidently in his blood; he's the grandson of Robert Benchley (a member of the Algonquin Round Table) and the son of Nathaniel Benchley, another writer.
