T is for Trespass is the twentieth in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series by Sue Grafton. It was like being in the presence of a snake, first hissing its presence and then coiled in readiness. I didn't dare turn my back or take my eyes off of her. I stood very still. I let go of my fight-or-flight defense and decided to play dead. If you run from a bear, it gives chase. That's the nature of the beast. Likewise a snake. If I moved, she might strike. When her elderly neighbour Gus has an accident, Kinsey Millhone is relieved when his niece organizes a nurse for him. Verifying a background check on Solana Rojas doesn't turn up anything suspicious. But Kinsey's not convinced - especially when Gus seems to be getting worse under his nurse's tender care. Realizing that her neighbourly concern isn't going to get her past the front door Kinsey turns to more unorthodox methods to step up her investigation. And gets far more than she bargained for . . . Not only is Solana not who she seems to be but she's more than able to play Kinsey at her own game. Suddenly the tables have turned and it's Kinsey who's on the wrong side of the law . . .

I loved this book.
Kinsey is at it again but this time she faces the forces of pure evil, a chilling sociopath. This book deals with identity theft, elder abuse, betrayal of trust, and the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and dependant.
Chilling. I couldn't put this book down. Kept me captivated to the very end.

Great read!
I've read them all up to T and can't wait for the rest of the alphabet. I always enjoy Grafton.

Review of T is for Trespass
Female-sleuth Kinsey Millhone is on the trail of a woman who has stolen the identity of another and is using it to commit elder abuse, fraud and theft. Kinsey must stay one step ahead of this psychopath to save the life of her elderly neighbor Gus Vronsky, and ultimately her own.
This was difficult for me to read due to the subject matter of elder abuse, but I thought it was well-written and quite the thriller: a real page-turner. It was good to spend some time with Kinsey again and I'm looking forward to the "U" book.

Another great book by Sue Grafton
This is a super book. You can't help but love Kinsey Milhone. Grefton makes you feel as if her characters are friends of yours, and you want to share more and more of their lives. The plots are always unpredictable and Kinsey is spunky, brave and adorable. I can't wait for the next book to come out!
