Publisher's summary

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 listeners 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 listener foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The wrenching suspense lies in whether Kinsey Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene.

T Is for Trespass, dealing with issues of identity theft, elder abuse, betrayal of trust, the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent, targets an all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Garfton takes us into far darker territory than she has ever traversed, leaving us with a true sense of horror embedded in the seeming ordinariness of the world we think we know. The result is terrifying.

Not the same as previous

I have enjoyed all her prior novels, but this is a complete change of subject.

She should not have used T is for, but completely different title.

Dissapointed.

T for trepass

For this I would like to get my money back, I have read all of her books from A to T but this one I could not even finish, it was rambling about nothing, no suspense! Look like the author had to write a book!

Too Dran Out

I like Grafton, but this one was boring and some of the scenes were so filled with useless descriptions and scenes such as when she is going around the streets searching for a missing witness. It made me wish I had bought the abridged edition.

I loved it

Part of the fun of listening to this series is Judy Kaye, who does a fine job and whose voice is just perfect for Kinsey Millhone. The story itself is fantastic - nevermind that you *do* know from the beginning who the bad guy is; it was delightful to listen as Kinsey used her noodle and figured it all out. There was only one end that didn't get tied up for me, but it wasn't important to the story. Two thumbs up!

T is for Terrific!!

Sue Grafton has got her groove back!!

After being somewhat disappointed with "S" I was skeptical about "T". I was so pleased to be proven wrong!!

T is for Trespass satisfies on every level. We get more information about the characters we have grown to love (yes, Henry is still kickin' at 89) find out more about Kinsey's motivations, and get justice in the end. More than that though, Ms. Grafton's novels make it fun to go back to the 80's and remember what the times were like when I was a teenager.

There are a couple more gruesome scenes than usual in this book but not in a distracting way by any means.

If you have enjoyed the Kinsey Millhone series you won't be disappointed. If you have never read a Sue Grafton story you will still enjoy this as your first. You may find yourself starting the series at A and working through them one by one after you get a taste though...be forewarned ;-)

Best. Sue Grafton. Ever.

I thought it would be impossible to top "S is for Silence". But with "T is for Trespass". Sue Grafton has outdone herself, for the first time venturing into a longer format, with characters drawn in more detail and the narrative proceeding at a more leisurely pace. I could savor each and every sentence laced with her characteristic irony and caustic humor. Having spent some time in "Santa Theresa" I can appreciate all the local references, and
she is to be commended for following through on her commitment to the late 1980's time and place, managing a low
tech gumshoe adventure without reference to the internet, email and cell phones!

And the narrator Judy Kaye, IS Kinsey Millhone, plays the part with perfection.

Can't wait to move on to "U is for. . .".

Wasted my time

I wasted so much time sitting behind the wheel long after I arrived at my destination, I was so engrossed in this book! Books that grab my attention as much as this one did are few and far between and Grafton once again didn't disappoint. One of the very first audiobooks I ever listened to was a Sue Grafton novel over 17 yrs ago and I've been hooked ever since. I think the thing I enjoy the most out of this series, is that during the coarse of the series, the character of Kinsey has fundamentally remained the same, unlike some other authors who turn their main characters into whiny annoying individuals that I find myself hoping that whatever serial killer is out to get them will finally get the job done and put us all out of our misery. (Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta in particular!) I also enjoy the fact that Judy Kay has narrated every Grafton novel I've ever listened to. The book is fantastic from start to finish and definitely worth the listen!

The nemesis was female.

That wasn't a spoiler. You find out early on about her. The story scared that such people exist. i knew it before, but hearing a complete story, although fiction, gave me the creeps.

Wow!

This is one of the best Grafton novels I've listened to. I found it hard to stop listening. It saddens me that I am nearing the end of the alphabet.
