TitleWhen asked about the title of book 24 in September 2013, 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."[2] In April 2015, she revealed that this novel breaks the pattern of the preceding 23 books, omitting the "is for" and alliterative word from the title.[3] ReviewsReferences1. ^{{cite web |publisher=Penguin Random House |title=About Sue Grafton and "X" |url=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/313497/x-by-sue-grafton/9781101981870/ |accessdate=January 11, 2018}} 2. ^{{cite news |first=Laurie |last=Hertzel |newspaper=Minneapolis Star-Tribune |location=Minneapolis, MN |title=Sue Grafton closing in on the end of the alphabet |url=http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/books/223011681.html |date=September 10, 2013 |accessdate=April 24, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news |first=Jocelyn |last=McClurg |newspaper=USA Today |publisher=Gannett |title=Read an excerpt from Sue Grafton's 'X' |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2015/04/23/sue-grafton/26124411/ |date=April 23, 2015 |accessdate=April 25, 2015}} External links
