Disappointing - By: Transplanted American, 07 Dec 2008 
I've read all the booksin this series & so, like many others, looked forward to this latest. My response to the book was feeling like Ms Grafton wasin a hurry writing this, almost like she'sin a rush to get the whole thing over with. Like her heart's notin it anymore & she's simply fulfilling her contract for 26 books.
I was disappointedin the lack of character development for the main character &in the continuation of all the same old tired habits & attitudes--nothing new or interesting about Kinsey or her life. And isn't that part of what made some of the earlier books so interesting--the relationshipsin her life? I had hoped for more about Kinsey's extended family or some sense of change or growth for her as a character, but found myself bored with the redundant references to her McDonald's food fixation & her self-pitying explanations as to why she all her relationships fail.
For me, this book was a disappointment. I expected better of Sue Grafton. Then again I've never written 20 books about one character, so by this stage, maybe I'd be a bit burned out, too.
A return to form - By: R. Packham, 28 Nov 2008 
I am a great Sue Grafton fan but thought her last two novels were not up to standard, particularly R is for Ricochet. However her latest book is simply great, hugely gripping & a real page turner. I loved the new style with chapters going back & forth between Kinsey & the evil "care provider". It was very gratifying that Ms Grafton brought Kinsey's landlord very much into the story as he has been neglected of late. I have always loved the contribution made by Henry & his siblings. This is a real return to form & I have bought the hardback as a Christmas present for my niece & hope to convert her to Sue Grafton. I would have no hesitationin recommending this novel to anyone who has not yet discovered Ms. Grafton. It is a true demonstration of Sue Grafton's writing skills as this is a much darker tone than her earlier novels & it truly works. This is my favourite so far.
Kinsey on the wrong side of the law - By: Mrs. K. A. Wheatley, 23 Nov 2008 
In this latest of the alphabet series, Sue Grafton uses T for Trespass to move her heroine Kinsey on emotionally as well as giving us the usual, tautly plotted crime story.
Quite often the stories are either hugely driven by the crime element & contain only a fragment of back story or vice versa, but here Grafton attempts to marry bothin a story which eddies around the most important relationshipin Kinsey's life, that with her landlord, Henry.
I felt that this book had a little too much going onin the crime department. The main story plots Kinsey's wits against an evil woman bent on preying on the elderly, a woman who is devious & sharp & seriously puts Kinsey on the back foot. This is a complex & fascinating story & I feel it would have been a better book if this had been the sole focus of the novel.
As it is, we have two sub plots, one involving a paedophile & one involving a fraudulent insurance claim. Grafton may well be trying to writein a more 'realistic' manner by weavingin multiple cases, but I felt cheated that these other cases didn't really develop properly.
The main gripe I had with this book was the ending, which I thought was a little rushed & too overdramatic & spoiled whatin my view was a return to form after a few more experimental forays. Nevertheless, a good read.
She's done it again. - By: Tallulah, 02 Nov 2008 I came late to Sue Grafton & was so hooked on these marvellous books, I read all of them up to S is for Silence over a period of about a year. It was a long wait until T is for Trespass but the book was well worth the wait. The author gives us economical writing, good plots, a cast of characters to love, what more could a reader want. Roll on U is for ....? but what will we read when she finishes Z, I shall feel as if I've lost a friendin Kinsey Millhone.
One of her best, so far. - By: S. Gornall, 08 Sep 2008 T Is for Trespass
I have read all Sue Graftons books & I think this is the best so far. I really enjoyed the story & it shows just how easy it is for someone to be a con-artist with very little effort. In a busy world people do not seem to check references as well as they should & do not want to interferein other peoples lives even when they suspect something is not quite right. It kept me gripped all the way through & it had a great ending. I guess to enjoy Sue Grafton you should really start at A is for Alibi & work your way through to 'T' but maybe if you read this book & enjoy it you could go back. I can't wait for U if it's as good as T. is.
