How about alibi men?
Elena Estes is back in a world she shunned after a horse groomer that she worked with is found dead in a canal and all clues lead back to her old fiance, Bennett Walker, and his cronies that form the Alibi Club.
I did get through the book and I enjoyed most of it. I didn't like switching back and forth between 1st person for heroine Elena Estes and 3rd person for everyone else, mostly Det. Landry. There was some redundancy with reminding constantly that Elena had been dragged under a truck, which made it implausible to think she would still be very attractive, and her past as a rich kid with parents she can't respect, setting us up for a scene with her father. The beginning also implies that Elena and the victim were more acquainted through work than really friends, but then Elena thinks of her as a friend ever after, though one she didn't know well. Elena is fixated on her cynical life, but I did like her overall. The dialog was snappy, which keeps me going. The very end was a bit of a switch, focusing on her and Landry in greater measure, when the entire story only touched on that briefly.
Slow moving story with an ending you can easily predict
Just okay - probably wouldn't recommend it. Story s part of a series on a former rich girl turned outcast based on her past as a cop. She was injured and disappears into the elite world of horses. A friend is murdered and she has to find the killer. Very predictable and it took me a long time to read it as it never held my attention.
Another page turner from Hoag
Alibi Man became my alibi to read this book instead of doing something else. This book speeds you through twists and turns like a highway begging for you to reach the climax. Tami knows how to hold your interest and build to that climax and along the way some of the scenes she describes are so vived they are grotesque. Will not reveal plot as that is the story. A fat book with many pages that I finished in less than four days and read at night only for one hour each.
