My Rating for Wrong Alibi: 3.5 Stars
My Review:
For Evelyn Jones,
this was the perfect job in small-town Alaska as she works for a reclusive wealthy
art collector when he disappears, and she is the prime suspect in a double
murder as well as being accused of embezzlement and theft. With life in prison
in her future even as she protests her innocence, she goes on the run and
isolates herself as she tries to solve the crime against her. Determined to get
to the truth of the matter, Evelyn is on the search for a killer who set her up
and destroyed her life. But whispers are on the wind as danger grows as she
gets closer to the truth, but what happens when she finds out who set her up
and why, will it shatter this strong and courageous woman she has become or
force her to see what was always in front of her?
WRONG ALIBI is
the start of a juicy new series by Christina Dodd and one I couldn’t wait to
delve into. There were times I had to suspend disbelief a little in the beginning,
but I think it helped set up Evelyn the character as well as the story itself.
The story flows smoothly after that initial introduction of characters and
events that cause Evelyn to flee into hiding. I love Christina Dodd’s thrillers
and found WRONG ALIBI to be entertaining as well as a mystery that had
me on the edge of my seat. With the right amount of tension, mystery and
thrills, the author delivers a story that will keep the reader guessing who the
killer is as well as the why about it.
WRONG ALIBI delivers an entertaining story that left me turning pages as
quick as can be as well as rooting for Evelyn to get to the bottom of things. Yes,
there were times the story did bog down a bit but it helped that it didn’t hang
on the author righted the ship those times so to speak. I liked Evelyn and
though she felt a bit naïve in the beginning, I felt she grew into herself as
time went on within the story to become a wonderful, intriguing character to
enjoy. If you are looking for a mystery to keep you entertained these cold,
snowy nights then I highly recommend WRONG ALIBI and hope you can enjoy
it as well as I did.
