SUE GRAFTON HAS DIED. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY HER FAMILY, FRIENDS, READERS AND GARDEN.

This is a very short post. We have just read that Sue Grafton, the author of twenty five mystery books, has died in Santa Barbara, California.

Starting at 'A is for Alibi' she titled her novels through the alphabet but sadly, for her family and us her readers, her alphabet has stopped at Y.

She voiced her desire for her books not to be turned into either films or television series nor for a ghost writer to continue her character, Kinsey Millhone, so we'll never know what happens to Kinsey in 'Z is for Zero'.

Besides being a wife, mother and an author. She and her husband, Steve Humphrey, turned themselves into gardeners and transformed the gardens of Lincliff, a 100 year old house in Louisville, Kentucky.

There was an article written by Logan Ward in Garden&Gun published in February / March 2014, you can view this on line, it has photos of the house and the garden. Both are quite beautiful.

We're saddened by this news.. Rest in Peace Ms. Grafton.

GeeGee Parrot.
