The Alibi
6 journalers for this copy...
From the back cover: "The sensational murder of one of Charleston's most powerful citizens, real-estate tycoon Lute Pettijohn, rocks the city and gives ambitious prosecutor Hammond Cross his chance to become the city's next district attorney - if he wins the case. His investigation turns up no shortage of people who wanted Pettijohn dead. But when the prime suspect turns out to be a mysterious woman who holds the secret that can shatter Hammond's ambitions, he faces a moral dilemma and a haunting question: Was he set up to be the perfect alibi?"

This book was a quick read, and a nice change of pace from the books I've been reading previously. The Alibi was just your average mystery/thriller. All the normal twists and turns. Half way through the book, I suspected the killer to be who it turned out being, but that didn't take away from the story that much.
The only thing that bothered me, why does the cover have a picture of a bird on it? What does a bird have to do with the story? You'd think they'd at least try to make the cover have some relation to the story! Minor detail :)

I enjoyed the book. I never suspected who the murderer was. I felt that the premise of the book was a little trite. I felt that the story was just that little bit over the top.
Reserved for dutch-flybaby as part of a trade.

Found this book in my mailbox today. Thanks for the trade HoserLauren and for the lovely note. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the book once I get to it :-)
This was the first book I read in 2012 and it was the 'oldest' book on mountTBR registered by someone else. I enjoyed the book immensly!
I'm not participating in any 'keep them moving'-challenge, but want to keep this book moving none the less. I'm sending this book as a RABCK to hp7935 to introduce her to this writer. Happy reading!
The book arrived along with other english books.
I can't wait to read them.
They all sound very good.
I'll send them away again as soon as possible for the next reader to enjoy
