The Alibi

By: Sandra Brown

Narrated by: Dennis Redfield

Born into a fine old Charleston family, Hammond Cross is determined to be the city's next district attorney-without sacrificing his integrity. Prosecuting the sensational murder of real estate magnate Lute Pettijohn could be his ticket into the office. Yet while Hammond anticipates his success, someone near him is plotting his downfall--

Steffi Mundell, colleague, ex-lover, and rival for the DA's office--Rory Smilow, the homicide detective without equal and Hammond's avowed enemy--the wily and beautiful Davee Pettijohn, Lute's widow and Hammond's lifelong friend, who's too honest to mourn the husband she despised--and Hammond's prime suspect, the mysterious woman who shares the secret that would be fatal to Hammond's ambitions.

For the first time in his career, he's bending the rules in favor of the suspect. All clues point to her guilt. Yet she holds in reserve the perfect alibi-Hammond Cross.©1999 by Sandra Brown; (P)1999 by Random House, Inc.

Good story; poor narration

The print book is a better choice if you're a Sandra Brown fan because Redfield's narration spoiled what would have been a great story. I don't need Victor Slezak to do an SB book (though he's my 1st choice) but there are far better male narrators out there than Redfield. He was expressionless and didn't sound like he was interested at all. That came across clearly such that I drifted away myself and ended up listening to something else.

I regretted the purchase and have requested a refund to buy something else. As for The Alibi, I'll go buy the ebook!

Good story!

skilled narrator. great story. a tad too much "gratuitous sex" (eye roll) for my taste.

One of my favorite Sandra Brown's!

The story was very good, the characters were great (love you Davee!), and the narration was excellent. Victor Slezak is usually my favorite Sandra Brown narrator, but Dennis Redfield was just fabulous on this book. Really enjoyed this one.

Suspenseful

Story line intense didn’t want to put it down very captivating and entertaining all the way through

Great characters and plot twists.

This book will keep you interested right to the end. Some times the narration was flat but that did not take away from the colorful characters and tightly wound plot. I thought Sandra Brown's 'Envy' was slight better but only slightly.
