T is for Trespass

This is the first of the Kinsey Millhone stories that I've read. I only chose it becuase it was cheap on Kindle and I thought why not. I had heard a good amount about them and considered that it would be at least a semi interesting read.

It did not disapoint. The first 50 pages or so was slow moving and it took awhile for me to get connected. I think this is because Grafton gives you everything, good guy/bad guy, so you can totally see what the premise of the book is about and since I read a lot I knew enough of this type of book to see how it would be. But the events that bring it around and the actions of the characters did pleasantly surprise me.

I had a little bit of a problem with Kinsey's character because it didn't seem like she really acted as a private investigator would. She seemed to be very wimpy to me in a way. I'm not sure if it was just this book or maybe I wasn't able to relate to her enough. I probably should have started with one of the beginning letters where more of her background is provided, but I still did end up enjoying the read.

And watch out, come the last 100 pages or so you do not want to put it down! The villian is a little phyco, keeps you on your edge! Easy read, good vacation book
