I did enjoy this series, and was very sad that the author never lived to write her last 'letter'. Thank you for the quiz, and bringing back some good memories

Pretty impressive to have both the confidence and perseverance to start this thing in 1982 and stick with it for 35 years. Can't just stop after D, can you?

Small error: murder is not the same thing as homicide. Murder implies a premeditated killing of another (i.e. ex ante intent), whilst homicide is just the killing of another. All murders are homicides but not all homicides are murders (e.g. self-defence killing would be homicide, not murder).

C'mon, X is for Xylophone (used to brutally bash someone on the head) would've been good.

Or "X" is for "Xenophile." Or "Xerox." Or "Xenon." Or some other random word that has nothing to do with crime.

Xenophobia could be a cause for a crime. I guess Xavier or Xerxes could be a character as well.

Why is 'Deadbeat' someone who evades child support payments?! I thought it meant tired. I can see how it might be used to describe a lazy person but I've never heard it used with this very specific meaning before. But I'm from the UK, so maybe it's a US thing...?

US thing - A "Deadbeat Dad" does not pay his child support. In general, a deadbeat is someone who doesn't pay their debts.
