The 20th novel in Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone series is one of the best. In her last outing, "S" IS FOR SILENCE, Grafton altered her style a bit, actually entering other characters' points of view to tell parts of the story so that they shared the narrating duties with Kinsey herself. With this new novel, that device is used to chilling effect--between reports from Kinsey, we enter the mind of a woman who is possibly her most twisted adversary to date.

Solana Rojas is a caregiver, a home-help nurse's aide much like the thousands you'll find all over America. But the woman assigned to care for Kinsey's elderly friend is not your usual "angel of mercy." For one thing, she is not the real Solana Rojas--she has stolen that woman's identity. And she has plans. To tell you more of the plot would be--well, criminal.

The best aspect of Grafton's excellent series is her ability to keep up with current social and legal problems, despite the fact that Kinsey's stories are set somewhere in the 1980s. In this novel we have identity theft, the inherent problems of home care, and--perhaps most disturbing--the tendency of society in general to ignore and/or mistreat our most vulnerable citizens. At least this elderly victim has Kinsey Millhone as a champion. And what a champion she is! "T" IS FOR TRESPASS will captivate longtime Grafton fans, and it should make her a lot of new fans as well. Highly recommended.

I hold my breath waiting for the latest Kinsey Millhone and then I hold my breath as I pore over every page when I get my hands on the newest mystery; this latest was no exception. I really got caught up in the fear factor as the author dragged me kicking and screaming through the gripping ordeal of a senior citizen who one day is merely a crabby, cranky curmudgeon and the next day is on a sad spiral into elder abuse by an amoral, frighteningly-real home-health "companion". I was sick to my stomach thinking: that could happen to any one of us!

Sue Grafton has done it again. Another book about Kinsey Millhone, this time centering on elder abuse. I never get tired of reading this series & I'm already looking forward to U.

I've read five others in this series so far (A,B,C,D,I) and this one is absolutely the best I've read. In this one, Grafton adds to Kinsey's narrative the point of view of Solana, a woman who has stolen her identity in order to reap the benefits of her anonymity. Kinsey is asked to do a background check on her when she applies for a position, and once Kinsey realizes something is wrong, it's a race to the end to see whether Kinsey can foil Solana's plans. It all comes to a series of events that is masterfully crafted and suspenseful (dare I say "Thrilling"?). Don't expect to take a break anywhere in the last 100 pages. You won't be able to.

Excellent. The series seemed to get stale for a few books, but this one is quite chilling and well-told. I like that Sue Grafton chose not to bring Kinsey Millhone forward in time -- I like the reminders of what conveniences we did NOT have 20 years ago.

This was one of the best in the series.

Kinsey Milhone strikes again (and predictably so). I live in Southern California and likely read the same newspaper as Sue Grafton, so I think I know where her ideas came from for this novel. A neat chapter in the life of Kinsey Milhone, but not worth reading unless you've read other Sue Grafton books before this one. Sue - bring back a love interest who's not in his eighties!

The story is told from 2 points of view, P.I. Kinsey's and Solana. Solana has preyed for years on the elderly and infirmed and is hired by the family of Kinsey's grumpy neighbor. The story has an exciting ending.

FYI...for all you Sue Grafton fans...Kinsey has a cool new car!

A little different from the rest of the series, the psychopath hunting down Kinsey remains just out of reach; anticipating and reacting to Kinsey's moves almost before she makes them.

This was a really great read.

Other than a few anachronisms that disrupted the late '80's vibe, Grafton is back in fine form with Kinsey Millhone getting dragged into a case of stolen identity and perhaps murder, when her elderly neighbor takes a tumble. Fast paced, a good read.

Ugh, it was much too dark for me. Although I didn't care for the departure from the formula, where Kinsey is the only voice you hear, that didn't bother me as much as knowing that awful things were going to happen.

I read the first chapter and then skipped to the last. I wanted to know that at least there would be a happy ending. And it's fair to say the conclusion was satisfactory.

If you're compulsive enough to feel you have to read every one of these, then go for it. Otherwise, hold out for U.

Love this author. This book is better than her recent books in the series. Got back to Kinsie basics.

Grafton's most intense Milhone novel to date. Kinsey's life, as well as the lives of those she loves the most, are put in danger in the letter T. For the second time (like the letter S), Grafton formats her book by flashing between Kinsey's narrative and the POV of another character. We are given a frightening glance into the inner-workings of a criminal mind. This was an excellent read. I highly recommend it!

Cannot wait to see when the next one will come along. Kinsey and I have become great friends.

OK
