The setup

A crime novelist’s alphabet-themed book series becomes a publishing commitment she cannot escape.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

A parade of glossy covers charts Susan Merriweather’s increasingly desperate attempt to finish an alphabet of crime novels. Conventional titles give way to complaints, nonsense and openly hostile shortcuts as the format wears her down. Even her attempt to compress the remaining letters fails to satisfy the demand for more books.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

J is for Jellybeans.

O is for Obligation... Contractual Obligation.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The fictional bibliography uses the same alphabet-title convention as Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone mystery series.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
