date

newest »
the new series will start with numbers - 1
How soon will the next book be out? Has anything been announced?
I just found this on wikkipedia:" When asked about the title of book 24, Grafton told the
Minneapolis Star-Tribune
that the title "almost has to be Xenophobe or Xenophobia. I've checked the penal codes in most states and xylophone isn't a crime, so I'm stuck.".
[5]
Grafton has stated that the twenty-sixth and final book in the series will be titled "Z" Is for Zero and released in 2019.

In 2009 Grafton told a
Los Angeles Times
interviewer that the final novel will "coincide with Kinsey's 40th birthday in 1990".

In July 2011 Grafton told
The Wall Street Journal,
"You're never going to have to watch Kinsey Millhone go through menopause."
and also this link with suggested title possiblities when Grafton ends out the alphabet, funny:

not all of the letters in the title represent a crime ..maybe something like X-ray

I just hope she doesn't kill off Henry or Kinsey
I hadn't thought of that! Alice wrote: "sublimosa wrote: "Where do you think the series will end with Kinsey?

I don't think Kinsey can die at the end, as Grafton has written these books from Kinsey's perspective in more present times.

Kinsey can't die! Maybe the new series (with numbers) will also feature her.But seriously, I think she might get married. A very 19th century ending to a contemporary series.

What new series with numbers?
Sue Grafton is in her seventies. It seems unlikely that she would start another Kinsey series with numbers, but one never knows.

I highly doubt Kinsey will get married again, but maybe. I think she will meet her grandmother. Henry may pass away and she might inherit his home, then use the converted garage as an office.
I was so sad to hear that Sue Grafton has passed. The article said that there would be no Z as she did not want a ghost writer. I have loved her Kinsey books and will miss them both.
I wish her peace and understand her wish that no one ghost write for her, but I am sure disappointed that we never get to hear the end of Kinsey's story.
RIP Ms Grafton - I didn't enjoy W & X all that much, but the rest of the series gave me a lot of pleasure.
I was hoping the Kinsey and Dietz would get together at the end but I guess it will never be.

Get another dress so she doesn't have to continue relying on the one black dress she owns?
Okay, only my first three suggestions are serious.
