I have read every book A-Y. To say this last, literally, book of Sue Grafton was so different and dark from the rest would be an accurate statement for me. I usually finish these books in a day, but I had to keep putting this one down and coming back to it because it was so difficult to read. I am glad this wasn't her first book I've read because I probably would not have come back to her series and missed the other interesting A-X books. Her series always worked because while murder is a difficult subject there was enough realism balanced with "no way" moments that the story lines worked and brought you back for the next "letter" in the series/alphabet. This subject was too real, too intense, and difficult to get through. That said, I applaud this series as I believe it set the course for many similar series to emerge and get traction and followers.
