The Alibi

Rating:
Summary: Very Good
Review: I just recently discovered Sandra Brown and have enjoyed all of the books that I have read. The Alibi kept my interest throughout, however, at the very end, what exactly happens to Hammond & Alex? Do they stay together? Does he get his promotion? Are they going to be menetioned in another novel?

Summary: One of Sandra's worst!
Review: I love Sandra Brown and because she writes so slowly I expect wonderous things from her. THE ALIBI was by far one of her worst books - I didn't even bother to finish it. It was formulaic, predicatable, and BORING! I love you Sandra - what has happened?!

Rating:
Summary: Couldn't put it down! It's one of her best!
Review: I enjoyed this book very much! I was hooked from the first word to the last. I thought that the conflict of the main character, Hammond Cross, with his values kept the reader interested. This book is definitely worth the price. I have read nearly every Sandra Brown book and I was impressed!

Rating:
Summary: 10 Xs better than Unspeakable;needs to return to romances!
Review: Found Hammond Cross likeable but too many twists and turns in an obvious conclusion did not change the outcome of the plot. Brown is my favorite author, but she needs to return to writing romance novels and leave the general fiction books about current events and/or mores to others!

Summary: Enjoyable Reading !
Review: I started reading Sandra Brown's books only a year ago and have become a loyal fan. "The Alibi" did not disappoint me at all (in fact, it took me all of one night to read it). While the "action" in the book is not as visceral (or steamy or guttural) as many of her past novels, it was definitely there in the form of internal conflict within each main character. Indeed, the delineations between right and wrong, personal integrity vs. professional preservation, were not all that clear --- very much like real life! Before I bought this book, I read the scathing review of an amazon.com reader and was apprehensive about even buying this book. I'm glad I did.

Summary: Not her best work :(
Review: I am an avid fan of Sandra's and have snatched up everything of hers even from her Erin St. Claire and Loveswept days. The Alibi has too many subplots and forces you to take a while to warm up to the plot. The characters are never fleshed out to the point where you really care about them. And unfortunately, I figured out who done it by page 15 though I wasn't really sure why the killer did it. She also left quite a few of her subplots dangling and cut the book off abruptly. I realize romantic suspense is all the rage but I kind of wish Sandra would write a sizzling, lusty Southern burn-up-the sheets true love story and take a break from the intrigue. As I said, not her best work. Think I'll re-read Slow Heat in Heaven or Fanta C and forget about this one!

Summary: Welcome Back Sandra Brown
Review: Sandra Brown was the lady that introduced me to the wonderful world of romance- with her Fanta-C, Slow Heat in HEaven etc. etc and then I followed her into thrilling rides to war zones (WTS) and political sabotages (Exc.) with her romantic suspenses but with her last couple of novels she was losing me as her ever loyal fan...until now- the Alibi is GREAT- pure Sandra Brown packed with action and romance and most of all A GREAT STORY with a true hero.... thanks enjoyed it a lot- worth my 25 bucks !

Rating:
Summary: Brown's worst, complete garbage.
Review: I can't believe Sandra Brown actually wrote this tedious, predictable book. It has none of her trademark plotting or enjoyably sleazy characters. Everyone in the book is one-dimensional and the killer is so obvious it's laughable. The story centers on a local prosecutor who sleeps with a woman he meets at a county fair and when the woman turns up as a murder suspect, he's too wimpy to come forward as her alibi until he's proven she's innocent. Even Brown's usual hot love scenes are dull, and, even worse, told in flashback! A waste of time and money. I think I'll reread "The Witness" or "Exclusive" to erase all memory of this book!

Rating:
Summary: Took a while to get into it
Review: This book was a little slow paced for me. It took me a while to get into it and honestly by the end, I was glad I had made it through. Probably won't go and fetch any more of Sandra Brown's books for a while. This was my first read by this author.
