T is for Trespass - Sue Grafton

I won't lie - I was probably a little desperate when I pulled an old (November 2008) Sue Grafton off the mother in-laws shelf but truth be told it wasn't actually such a bad read.

The story involves a private investigator Kinsey Millhone and her tangles with a scheming nurse who is taking care of her neighbour Gus.

When Gus has an accident, Millhone is relieved when his niece organises a nurse for him. Verifying a background check on Solana Rojas doesn’t turn up anything suspicious. But Kinsey’s not convinced – especially when Gus seems to be getting worse under his nurse’s tender care.

Realising that her neighbourly concern isn’t going to get her past the front door Kinsey turns to more unorthodox methods to step up her investigation. And gets far more than she bargained for . . .

Not only is Solana not who she seems to be but she’s more than able to play Kinsey at her own game. Suddenly the tables have turned and it’s Kinsey who’s on the wrong side of the law . . .

It wasn't a bad read for some light-hearted action but it did tend to jump around a bit to other cases Millhone was working which seemed to detract from the plot rather than add to it.

It also wasn't one of those books that you just can't put down. I found myself being drawn back to it to read a chapter or two before tonking out for the night but it didn't quite grab me in the way that I would read it until the very early hours of the morning.
