Wrong Alibi

by Christina Dodd

[Quirky Cat]

I received a copy of Wrong Alibi in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Wrong Alibi is the first in a brand new series (Murder in Alaska) by Christina Dodd. The location, cover, and description made this novel seem exactly like the sort of read I've been looking for.

Evelyn Jones, a young woman in desperate need of a second chance, took a job that required her to move to Alaska. It seemed perfect. In hindsight, it was definitely too perfect. Now Evelyn has been framed for murder, and there's little evidence to prove her innocence.

She's free again, and she's biding her time. Someday she'll get her hands on Donald White, prove her innocence, and get revenge for the family he killed. All it takes is a bit of patience, a dash of daring, and a whole lot of stubbornness.

“Alone for eight months of the year. No Christmas. No New Year's. No Valentine's Day. No any day, nothing interesting, just dark dark dark isolation and fear that she would die out here.”

Wrong Alibi is truly a twisting tale, one that will cause readers no end of fascination as they try and work their way through the mystery. I know that was certainly the case for me. Evelyn and Petie. Petie and Evelyn. Both a host of dozens of questions.

If you read the description of Wrong Alibi, you might be wondering where this Petie comes into play. It was one of the first questions I had, when diving on into this review. That being said, it was a mystery that compelled me to keep on reading.

The first five-ten chapters are probably my favorite of the whole novel, which is a bit surprising. I adored the earlier tone, which did seem to change once we really got into the meat of the mystery itself – that and Evelyn's past.

Wrong Alibi has a little bit of everything in it; survival, violence, gore, revenge, drama, love, hate (plenty of that), desperation, and so very much more. It's what made it such a compelling read. Well, that and the twisted series of events that one woman just couldn't seem to get away from.
