Mystery writer Sue Grafton dies at 77
NPR, Dec 29 2017 3:29 PM ET
Sue Grafton, the author of A Is For Alibi and 24 other mysteries featuring detective Kinsey Millhone, died of cancer December 28 at age 77. Grafton published her first book about the likeable, savvy gumshoe in 1982 and had been writing about her – and working her way through the alphabet – ever since. Her most recent book, Y Is for Yesterday, came out in August and she told NPR that she looked forward to reaching the end of the series with Z Is For Zero.
Though Grafton came incredibly close to reaching the full 26 letters, her daughter Jamie Clark wrote on Facebook that says Kinsey's crime-solving days are over: "Sue always said that she would continue writing as long as she had the juice. She was adamant that her books would never be turned into movies or TV shows, and in that same vein, she would never allow a ghost writer to write in her name. As far as we in the family are concerned, the alphabet now ends at Y."
