Keeps you guessing
the only part in the book that I found any displeasure would be the very last sentence. Sandra Brown keeps you going from the first chapter until the very end. she keeps you asking, will they confess, if not her, then who? definitely one of my favorites by Mrs Brown

I don't know. It was a bit predictable. Nothing too special. Meh.

Satu lagi karya Sandra Brown yang harus aku akui cukup meninggalkan kesan saat dibaca. Dari beberapa buku beliau satu hal yang aku akui, SB sangat kreatif dengan storyline, twist yang mengejutkan dan karakter-karakternya yang kompleks.
The Alibi juga memberikan aura yang sama. Mengangkat tentang pergolakan batin seorang asisten jaksa penuh prestasi yang sedang menunggu masa-masa promosinya, Hammon Cross. Antara memperjuangkan karir atau mengkhianati sumpah jabatannya demi kesempatan meraih kesempatan memperoleh cinta sejatinya, Alex Ladd. Kisah ini akan memanjakan para pembaca pencinta hero ala pecinta knight in shinning amour dengan karakter Hammond yang sangat kuat, tampan, cerdas dan mempesona. Serta heroinenya, Alex yang anggun, smart, lembut tapi sangat stabil.
Dengan karakter-karakter utama dan pendukung yang kuat dan unik, storyline kisah ini mengalir cepat dan membua mataku melekat erat pada setiap chapter-chapternya. Unsur suspens dan detail-detail penyelidikan juga sangat menarik perhatian. Jangan lupa dengan kejutan-kejutan, rollercoaster twist dan plot yang dijamin akan membuai otak dan matamu.
Unsur romance dan steamy scene disini terasa kuat walau digambarkan dengan halus. Ketertarikanan dan insta chemistry pada pandangan pertama Hammond dan Alex juga tidak vulgar tapi sangat intens dan bisa dipercaya. ikatan antara h/h dan pembaca aku rasakan makin menguat di sepanjang perkembangan kasus mereka..
Ending dan villain yang susah ditebak juga menjadi nilai plus buku ini. Kisah ini akan mengawali kembalinya demam SB ku setelaah vakum 7 tahun. Loooooove it.
My Rating :
star : 4/5
bikini: 2/5
Fave Quote :
Dispensing with the frivolity, he kissed her meaningfully. When at last he pulled away, her troubled expression alarmed him. "What?"
"Be careful, Hammond."
"No one will know I was here."
She shook her head. "Not that."
"Then what?"
"You may have to put me on trial for my life. Please be careful that you don't make me fall in love"

Book is good.... Easy to like the characters and the way the book flows and the story evolves is too good.....
******Spoiler*****
What I don't understand is why does Alex needs an Alibi when she doesn't know that someone is gonna kill Luke...And last she checked, he was alive with a nasty fall.... Then why did she think about following DAs assistant and creating an Alibi!?? There are 3 major female characters and 2 male characters.... And the Protagonist had slept with all the 3 female characters!

Book #46 read in 2006
As always, this Brown book was well-written with great character development. There were just enough clues to keep me guessing, but not enough to ruin the "surprise". Many twists and turns kept the book fresh and kept me from putting it down.

This one was pretty good. It had all Sandra Brown's signature elements and kept me guessing for most of it.

Hammond Cross meets a mysterious woman at a local fair and spends the night with her. In the morning, she is gone. Not long after, Hammond discovers that the name of the woman he was with is Dr. Alex Ladd, and she is the number one suspect in the murder of local millionaire Lute Pettijohn. Instead of coming forward and claiming to be Alex's alibi, Hammond lies to cover up his own involvement in the investigation. As senior solicitor in the DA's office, Hammond is assigned the case and is determined to not only save Alex's life but also his own career.
The Alibi begins an engrossing whodunit with multiple suspects and lots of clues. The two protagonists in the story are both hiding secrets and aren't honest with anyone including each other, making them less than likable characters. The plot then becomes more about how these characters will maintain their secrets rather than the search for evidence to find a killer. By the end of the story, all of the secrets are revealed, but the solution isn't very satisfying. Overall, The Alibi has enough elements to make it an interesting mystery but not enough to make it a very enjoyable read.
