trespass \'trespes\ n: a transgression of law involving one's obligations to God or to one's neighbor; a violation of moral law; an offense; a sin -Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged In what may be her most unsettling novel to date, Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. Beginning slowly with the day-to-day life of a private eye, Grafton suddenly shifts from the voice of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing readers to a chilling sociopath. Rojas is not her birth name. It is an identity she cunningly stole, an identity that gives her access to private caregiving jobs. The true horror of the novel builds with excruciating tension as the reader foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The suspense lies in whether Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene. Though set in the late eighties, T is for Trespass could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent. It reveals a terrifying but all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Once again, Grafton opens up new territory with startling results.

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.

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!
