Sue Grafton passed away of cancer, age 77. There will be no Z; Kinsey Millhone ends at Yesterday.

Give it time. There's money to be made here. Someone in the Grafton family will find the "long, lost, 'Zero' " in a shoe box locked in an attic trunk, even if she had nothing to do with it.

No, the family announced it - and it was her wishes never to be ghostwritten or adapted to TV/films, which is why they announced the alphabet ends with Y.

I read 'em all. The first few were part of a new wave of female authors of detective stories with clearly female names. I did not like the last few nearly as well, but then the characters (landlord, friends, polish cook) were very familiar and they too had changed with time. But I did read them.
Glad the family will let the 25 volumes stand on their own.
