The Alibi by Sandra Brown
4.0
Sandra Brown! Truly a master piece which intricately weaves Romance, Suspense, Murder and Deceit .
A high profile murder has occurred in Charleston Town, and almost everyone seems to have a motive for murdering. A man, Hammond Cross, a respectable lawyer falls in love with a stranger, Alex Ladd the same night and she disappears the next morning. Eventually, she turns out to be the prime suspect in the murder. Was he used to be her Alibi?
The murdered man is Lute Pettijohn who death makes almost everyone happy. The widow of his, Mrs Davee Pettijohn is quite happy with the murder. She has a loyal servant Sarah who seems to second every point of Davee.
There is Detective Smilow who is investigating the case. Hammond Cross is the prosecuting attorney and Steffi Mundell is to assist him. There is Preston Cross, Hammond's father who keeps pestering him to win the case! Why?
Then comes the Mystery man, Bobby Trimble who blackmails Dr Ladd almost in every instance. What's their link and why does he nudge her?
By the end of the book, I was left baffled with how every piece nicely fits together ! And the motive for murder is perfect ! The murderer has been with us all along and never did I doubt !As always Brown didn't disappoint ! The Alibi didn't !
