The Alphabet Ends at Y . . .
Sue Grafton passed away of cancer, age 77. There will be no Z; Kinsey Millhone ends at Yesterday.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

The Alphabet Ends at Y...
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.BoSoxGal wrote:Sue Grafton passed away of cancer, age 77.

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.

Re: The Alphabet Ends at 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.
