 The Alibi bySandra Brown Warner Books 564 pages, August 2000 ISBN 0446608653 Reviewed by Phillip Tomasso III Read our reviews of other novels by the same author: The Switch Standoff I have quickly learned to admire and respect mystery novelist Sandra Brown. She seems to thrive on undertaking the most complex plot scenarios, whipping them into sinister novels full of gut wrenching suspense. The Alibi is just such a thriller. Hammond Cross stops at a carnival and finds himself drawn to the festival tent where he sees the most beautiful woman. After one night together, Hammond thinks he may be in love, but when he wakes up in the morning, the mysterious woman is gone. Hammond, an ambitious prosecutor, is handed the case of a lifetime. If he wins it, nothing will stop him from becoming the District Attorney, a position his partner and ex-lover desires more than life itself. But when Hammond learns that Dr. Alex Ladd is the woman from the carnival suspected of killing Lute Pettijohn, one of the city’s most renowned real-estate dealers, he quickly has to figure out what his next move will be. Was the fabulous night merely a set up so Ladd could establish the perfect alibi? Tense and taut, The Alibi keeps the reader turning the pages at an unhealthy pace, racing to find out how this calculated and high-energy novel concludes. Highly recommended. |
