T is for Trespass by Sue Grafton
Sue Grafton has been writing Kinsey Millhone detective stories for over 20 years. In this, her 20th in the alphabet series, Grafton continues to experiment with changes to her distinctive style. In the immediate predecessor, S is for Silence, Grafton uses two narratives almost thirty years apart to find the answer to a decades old missing person case.
In T is for Trespass the author pushes even further; using two first person plots that slowly meet with terrible consequences. We get all that we have come to expect in the opening chapters featuring Kinsey, lots of detail and a wry eye about the daily life of a private detective working in the late 1980s before cell phones, the internet, and all that information floating around that makes it so much easier today. I particularly enjoyed Kinsey’s take on computers. Kinsey is doing some grunt PI work, process serving as well as investigating a traffic accident that has resulted in a lawsuit.

The First Law by John Lescroart
I recently had some extra time on my hands between new arrivals and decided to sample some popular authors that I have missed in the past. First up was John Lescroart who has a very successful series featuring San Francisco attorney Dismas Hardy.
The First Law is not the first in the series, although I thought it might be because of the title, I guess I’ve read too many James Patterson books, (and I guess Sue Grafton as well). Actually, it is the eleventh featuring Hardy and police lieutenant Abe Glitzky. The storey involves the death during a robbery of a close friend of Abe’s father. What at first seems to be a simple robbery gone bad quickly becomes much more. Glitzky is begged and quilted into looking into the crime even though he no longer is the head of the homicide unit.
