RIP Sue Grafton - S is now for Sadness, but V is for Victory

Friday, December 29th, 2017, one of my favorite authors passed away. Sue Grafton, author of the “Alphabet Series” of mystery novels featuring Kinsey Millhone went from A to Y to entertain her readers. Her novels were set back in the eighties. There was no easy way to the truth. Kinsey had to go to the library or beat the streets to get all of her information. Despite the times, she always nabbed the culprit in the end while taking a beating or attempt on her life as a matter of course to get the job done. She always came out the winner. It is a sad thing to know that Y is for Yesterday will be the last submission of the adventures of Kinsey as told by Sue. A writer’s voice may be silenced by the debt that all men pay, but the legacy of their works and words will live on forever. Rest in peace dear Sue. I hope you and Kinsey are one on the other side, kicking butt and stopping the bad guys in an effort to make the world a better place.
