Loved it.

I’ve read this book several times, it’s one of my favorites. Loved the writing style, we are kept on edge and the story unfolds where we have no idea who the killer is. Love the chemistry between Alex and Hammond. But why isn’t she using Hammond as her alibi? Trust me, this book is so good and definitely worth reading. Loved the ending too. I highly recommend this book.

The Alibi

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020

I've been a fan of Sandra Brown for many years. The Alibi was one of my favorites. Had to get to the end to find out who dunit! I also liked the development of the romance. I like the suspense and trying to figure out who the bad guy is, rather than the romance part. In this case there was a healthy dose of both! Enjoy!!

Read it again, and it's become my favorite

I am a huge Sandra Brown fan of all her books. But, this is by far her best. Generally, when I find a grammatical error, the author loses stars. However, in this instance, it can be forgiven because the book is so well done.

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2002

Verified Purchase

Sandra Brown's THE ALIBI is a nice change-of-pace for the author in that it's the rare instance in which her main character is male rather than the bordering-on-cookie-cutter female protagonists that have littered some of her recent work. Set in Charleston, the novel focuses on ADA Hammond Cross, who is brought a murder case involving one of the city's most prominent figures. It doesn't help that the victim wasn't particularly liked--by anyone--which leaves a laundry list of potential suspects. Unfortunately for Cross, the prime suspect is someone who has a fairly airtight alibi--him. You can pretty much see where this is going, which is fine because Brown has never exactly trafficked in brain surgery. But it's not helped along by Brown's cheesy, overly florid writing style when it comes to the "romantic" detours the book takes throughout. Nevertheless, this remains one of Brown's best, along with EXCLUSIVE, and should ease the pain of those who read the really awful STANDOFF before they got their hands on this.

Enjoyed that winding road of twists and turns!

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2018

A lot of Sandra Brown's books seem to have a similar storyline - male and female meet, complications arise, after a few plot twists and turns all works out. This one was pretty much the same. It is the plot twists in between that make us keep reading her books and this one was a very enjoyable.winding road.

This was my first Sandra Brown book and I'll definitely start looking at the others. I found some parts a bit unrealistic, but am still giving it 5 stars. I found the other reviews interesting because I had tried a Sandra Brown sample a while back and didn't care for it. After reading other reviews, I'm assuming my first sample must have been one of her romance books, of which there are all ready too many on the market. The Alibi includes romance but goes beyond into the mystery and suspense mode. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something more than "just romance."

Alibi is Brown’s best; not only is it her best

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

THE ALIBI is my 24th Sandra Brown read. In my opinion, Alibi is Brown’s best; not only is it her best, it’s the best murder mystery thriller I have read this year. Hammond Cross, the protagonist, has been groomed all of his young legal life to become the country attorney general or solicitor general as they are called in Charleston, South Carolina. As a multi-generation descendant of a Deep South politically connected family, a man of integrity and impeccable moral fiber, Hammond Cross has the experience, attitude and drive to perform the difficult job of solicitor general. His investigation as assistant solicitor uncovers evidence of serious corruption in the business dealings of Luke Pettijohn, a well-known but shady entrepreneur and developer who turns up dead in his hotel suite with two bullet holes in his back. The investigation soon zeros in on a well-respected local psychologist, Dr Alex Ladd, who quickly becomes the number one suspect. Complications rear their ugly head when Alex’s alibi, and her life, hinge on a night of passion with solicitor Cross, the prosecutor of her case. Further complicating the investigation is the chief detective, Rory Smilow, who in his younger days was romantically involved with Davee Pattijohn, the murdered man’s wife who is still in love with Smilow. The primary and secondary characters are well developed and Brown’s dialogue is so enticing you sense you are right beside the talker. The intensity of the story grabbed me from the very first page and held me in a state of tension throughout. The story is intriguing with constant directional changes and with enough steamy sex to satisfy the most fervent romantic. I literally could not put this book down.
I give The Alibi a strong 5-star rating.
