Z is for... we'll never know

I don't read as much as I used to, but when I did I was a big fan of the Alphabet series of books starring a Californian private detective called Kinsey Millhone, so it is with sadness that I learned of the death of Sue Grafton who wrote them.  She started back in 1982 with "A is for Alibi" and had just published her latest book "Y is for Yesterday".  So, no Z, which in some strange way - to me at least - seems somehow very appropriate.
