THE PERFECT ALIBI is a novel that is packed with surprises all the way to the end. Phillip Margolin keeps his readers in suspense with this fictional crime thriller that shows a lot of deceptions among lawyers of the courts. What a mastermind Margolin is with such a capturing storyline.

I love the background Margolin created for his main character, Robin Lockwood. This makes her real to the readers where they will feel like they know her other than just a character in a book. She is inspiring and a go-getter makes her a strong character as well. I hope to read more of her in the future.

Robin Lockwood is on a case where she represents a victim of a rape in a civil lawsuit against her rapist. The DNA points to only one person who happens to be an athlete with his hold future about to be blown away. He swears he is innocent. He is in prison and a second rape happens, with yet again hi DNA. No one can answer how that came about. On top of that, she is working another case where she defends a client of a murder charge. Are these two connected and if so how?

THE PERFECT ALIBI is hard to put down. I found myself impatiently waiting to get home to read it. Phillip Margolin did an amazing job with this thriller and keeping the storyline interesting throughout all of the chapters. I look forward to reading more of his novels and really recommend this one to anyone who loves thrillers.
