You have to start at the beginning, with “A” is for Alibi.

Start with A. Its an alphabet mystery series bases on a female former cop turned PI. The author recently passed away( I am still mourning the loss of her and my favorite character.) So she didn’t get to write the last letter Z. ?

@Keri oh no that’s so sad. I will definitely give it a go xx

Love! My favorite mystery series. You will love Kinsey and the rest of the gang! I am currently up to Q. I have been savoring them. I will read a few books and then crave to read another letter. Grafton has a huge fan base, and did a great job with this series.

Do you think that they’ll posthumously publish Z?

No. The family is set on granting Sues wishes of no ghost writing or tv/ movie adaptations.

Darn. They might gather information about the series and publish it as a Z just to round out the series on the shelf.

No… Sue’s family is completely against it.

But in the future when her family are gone…..

Maybe a biography of her, as Z

@Amanda Not a fan of the idea myself. I think it’s part of her legacy, that Y is now the last letter of the alphabet.

Cesca

That’s a lovely way for her daughter to put it.

Keri

@Cesca maybe…. but I kinda of like the idea that it ends in Y. I never liked the letter Z anyway… ?

Keri

I agree @Cesca. ❤

It was Sue’s life goal to make it through the alphabet and her family knew that she never wanted a Ghostwriter or somebody in her place if something happened to her. So going and Publishing a z would be really really stupid and go against both her wishes and the families and ruin the Legacy that she’s built when she explicitly didn’t want that
