tres¥pass '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.

Back in the dark ages, i.e. before Kindle, my spouse was my primary source of reading material (well, also the annual church-fair book table). She would go to the library and bring back an arm load of books, mostly mysteries of one kind and another. Then she'd hand off the better ones to me to read....
Great series! I love Kinsey and escpecially like that the series is set in the 80s I believe before cell phones, computers, email etc. I only wish Grafton would release more often. We always have to wait forever for the next release.

This was one of my favorites in the series despite the fact that Grafton has taken to adding pointless side stories to fluff up the size of the book. We aren't impressed by more pages, Ms. Grafton. Even so, the main story was good and sucked me right in.It had the added benefit of feeling like the...
I really liked this one. Solana was crazy! LOL, It was so much different than her usual stories, it was a nice change. I liked this one more than "S", so if anyone gave up on the series after "S" give "T" a try!
