Book Review: "Wrong Alibi" By Christina Dodd

Bloody Brilliant!

This was a twisty thriller that was as chilling as it was entertaining with numerous twisty situations and a plot that continued to thicken but not without it's share of plot holes.

If you are a romantic suspense fan you'll recognize Christina Dodd as she transforms to a darker mystery series to this newest transition in Wrong Alibi with this first in the Murder in Alaska series.

Wrong Alibi brings together several aliases to the forefront as Evelyn finds herself being charged with several crimes including theft, embezzlement, and murder after working for a con artist named Donald White.

Little did she know the entire situation that she was charged with would come back to haunt her and her family.

Speaking of family-her mother Iona -has finally found love. After all it's her mother she was trying to impress by getting a job after being held up in a juvenile detention center.

Fate luckily intervened on the way to prison as she escapes and flees for her life.

She's also been able to find solace and comfort from a doctor she's met years earlier who patched her back up and set her back on the road to freedom. Sadly, the chief of police isn't on her side and tried to broadside her by falsely accusing her of the crimes rather than showcase her innocence.
What I enjoyed here is during her time on the run she picked up several useful skills, aliases, and training to help her get further along.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer as they say and Donald is one that you have to watch at all times. It just so happens to be that he's located and you'll never guess whose on his arm-HER MOTHER!

WTH?!!

Will Evie be able to save her mother, bring the murderer to justice, and clear her name?

The fascination stems from characters that are multidimensional, vivid, and challenging. The fact that this was complex in nature and form created a powerful read.

You cannot move quickly in this one or you'll miss the clues that are strewn throughout the storyline.
The premise surrounding sociopaths and the enabling of such toxic individuals through acceptance rather than questioning brings to light the ultimate downfall.

The fact that one can get into a loving relationship with someone whose accused you of murder is also at play here much like Stockholm syndrome but with a twist as she's been accused by this person yet feels strongly for him and his well being.

Zone lost his wife Michelle and son Timmy and I suppose someone has to be blamed for their deaths but how long is too long?

Keep in mind when reading that there's more than one alias being used by more than one person which brings a new dynamic.

I want to personally thank Christina Dodd, Harlequin Books, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for not only this ARC but for allowing me to partake in this 2020 Fall Reads Blog Tour.

I hope this review helps to show the amazing talent that Christina has created in Wrong Alibi and it makes you feel compelled to get a copy for yourself to enjoy!
