Sue Grafton died of cancer on December 28th. She was 77. She was noted for her "Alphabet series of mystery novels," the last of which--Y is for Yesterday--was published in the summer of 2017.

Rest in peace, Sue. You will be missed. :'(
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

My wife is reading the series now and was pretty sad when she heard the news.  Grafton only had one more book to go - Z.

I sold quite a few of those books in the 90's.  RIP Sue.

Same here. I worked in a few different book stores around 90-92 and she was a pretty hot seller then. 'G is for Gumshoe' is the first of her books I remember selling because it had recently come out and had a VW bug on the cover.

Jeez, me too. Worked at Waldenbooks from 1990-92 or so. I remember Grafton's large number of books very well.

RIP.
