Starting at a slower pace than many crime/mystery books, I felt quite distant from the story, as if it were missing some vital connection that normally creates the compulsion to continue reading. Although Sandra Brown expertly weaves her plot of intrigue and suspense, the characters felt flat and unreal until quite late on. The last 15% of the book finally picked up and fulfilled the expectations I had, but it wasn't enough to really save it. I might still read more by this author, but I won't seek them out till my reading list gets shorter!

3.75⭐️ The Alibi is a great story if hidden moments and secrets, good guys who do bad things and bad guys who do good things, and an alibi needed for everyone. Sandra Brown always delivers these great stories that keep you guessing, throws in twists, and writes these compelling tales that make you want to know more!

I found myself skimming at the end. It maybe that I have outgrown my desire for pulp fiction. It is not as mental stimulating as it used to be.

Nobody, except for a couple of minor characters, in this book is likeable, but at the end there is a bit of a redemption and a twist.

Easy, good, mystery read. I enjoyed this book, as I do all of Sandra Brown's books. Definitely did not see the end coming. Would recommend for good, light reading.

At first, I was having a hard time getting into the book, but towards the middle, it really picked up steam and I absolutely could not put it down. Very good book.
