A review by brendamay421
A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton

1.0

I honestly had to put this one down. I could not force myself to read past the 100th page. The main character was too drab, nothing to her at all. No emotion, no background, no character development. Just that she was an private investigator. A tool in which to tell a predictable who-done-it. (My suspicion was confirmed by spoilers i read after giving this book a good try.) Way too much menial detail I felt was more just to fill pages than was necessary. I mean, I really didn't see how describing her COMPLETE running paths,EVERY time she went for a run, were at all helpful to the story. At 100 pages in you still haven't learned anything of significance to really keep you reading. I dreaded picking it up so I had to put it down. Very disappointed because I was looking forward to a new series.
