Book Reviews of T is For Trespass (Thorndike Press Large Print Basic Series)
Book Review: A Very Good Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
This book takes place in the later part of the eighties with Kinsey Millhone. She is a woman who had a rough childhood, so she learned how to survive and to manipulate people to get what she wants and needs. Kinsey is hired by neighbor Gus to interview/investigate the woman who applied to be his caregiver. The twist is she uses the name "Solana Rojas" then ends up investigating the real Solana
She then imports her mentally retarded son into Gus's house as an orderly. Not much effort has to be put forth since Gus is a grumpy old man, injured and friendless. Kinsey goes about her day in a casual manner without any guilt of her own dishonesty, making her a great and clever character in this very good mystery.
Summary of T is For Trespass (Thorndike Press Large Print Basic Series)
tresĄpass \'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.
