Alibi is like a mash-up between Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl. I have not read any book from those series but I do follow the TV show.
Abby was found dead and four people close to her are the suspects, each of them has a motive and an alibi. And as they tell their version of the story, the real culprit is revealed.
I'll start with the cover/s used. I love how pretty they all are, although I am quite disappointed that the model used for Mason is better looking than the one they used for Charles. While reading, I pictured the latter as better looking. Oh well. The model for Palmer is gorgeous! 'Nuff said.
I enjoyed reading this and it's such a refreshing change to read the perspective of everyone involved in the story. They all had their reasons for their actions and they are all misunderstood. The only perspective missing is the one of Abby's, I would have liked to know what was going on in her head with what's going on before her death. If there was open communication with the people involved, they could have prevented this tragedy from happening. But that's how it is with people, we often do something and keep it in secret, and then someone gets hurt.
As I reached the end, I realized the obvious conclusion to who the real culprit is but there were some parts when I felt like it was going to be an unexpected ending. I was right the first time but nevertheless, it was still a great presentation of the story. I'd like to believe that it was all caught in the Mackenzie's security tape. Although, if it was, I would have thought that the police had viewed them all before interrogating Charles. So maybe it wasn't on tape. Hmm...
Kudos to Twist Literary for an amazing job at editing this series.
