Grafton's S is for Silence

I thought for a bit that it was just me, but no, reviewers found S is for Silence by Sue Grafton as difficult to deal with as I did.

I don't have a problem with writers trying something new, but isn't it a bit late in the series? The technique in question is the alternating points of view. One minute you're in the present, the next chapter you're back in 1953 looking through someone else's eyes! You really have to pay attention to chapter headings. Even chapter headings in fiction is a tad weird. But you can understand why Grafton used them - even having those clues as to time and person change, I still didn't always know where I was.
