In WRONG ALIBI a twist of fate and evil put Evelyn Jones in jail then releases her to run for her life. Only 18, Evelyn thought she has the perfect job in a small town in Alaska, but the man disappears leaving her to face theft, embezzlement, and a double murder. No matter what she said or did she was convicted and headed for prison.
She escapes and due to some facial surgery necessary from the bus accident she begins to work under an alias in a wilderness camp. But the only thing she can think of is revenge on the man who set her up and getting her life back. And when he does finally show up she is ready ... or is she?
WRONG ALIBI will grab you by the throat from beginning to end. Evelyn or better known as Petie is an amazing young woman. She was in a gang as a kid but was trying to rebuild and go straight and that is where she was when she was arrested. A bit naive for having been in juvie but still a sweetheart that you feel for. Probably, the only flaw I, personally, found in WRONG ALIBI was the "romance" between Evie/Petie and Zone Jameson. He is the widower of the woman Evie had supposedly killed. He received messages stating his wife and son's killer was still alive and goes searching for her. The confrontation has Evie/Petie convincing him of her innocence and letting him know who the real killer is. Zone has a lot of emotional baggage, as he was kidnapped to be held hostage at the time his family was being killed. He managed to escape but what was done to him and his small family weighs him down. I think the problem is that I never really felt the tie-in that brings this couple together in a romantic setting. They do work well as they search for the real killer.
As a mystery fan, I am one of those who loves to try to play detective and get it solved before the big reveal. If you are the same then let me warn you that author Christina Dodd has a number of wicked twists she will throw around throughout this book. So you think you have it solved - think again!
WRONG ALIBI is well written, with captivating characters, vivid descriptions of the Alaska landscape without being too wordy, and totally enthralling.
From New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd comes a brand new, standalone thriller featuring a bold and brash female protagonist, a brutal and twisty murder that will have readers turning the pages and a villain that will have them keeping the lights on at night. WRONG ALIBI is perfect for the thriller/suspense category and fans of Lisa Jewell, Karin Slaughter, and Sandra Brown.
