Summary: She had an alibi all along! HIM!
Comment: Charming, well-liked and respected (along with being good looking and single)Assistant Attorney Hammond Cross is in line to be the next DA in Charleston, SC. After having a tough day at work and a meeting with a well known real estate agent that informs Hammond of shady dealings with his father, Hammond is ready to get out of town for a restful weekend at the camp. Realizing he is in the driving lane going towards a county fair, Hammond decides to detour to the fair and then head on to the camp. While he is there he sees her... a gorgeous and sophisticated woman. They "meet" without exchanging names and after a lot of persuading on his part- it works out that they spend the evening together. Yes, intimately!..... When Hammond arrives back home, still in a daze to what has happened over the weekend to him, he discovers that the town's wealthiest and most hated citizen, real estate agent, Lute Pettijohn has been murdered. And there are several possibilities for the murderer (Pettijohn's no-love-lost widow, Cross's own father, the investigating police officer Rory Smilow- the list is endless) but the most suspected is none other Dr. Alex Ladd, Hammond's mystery woman. Hammond is appointed prosecuting attorney for the case. And the plot only thickens... what is going to happen when it is discovered that Hammond knows Dr. Ladd intimately? Will this be the end of his future as D.A.? But more intimately- how could she have done it? What about the these feelings that Hammond is having towards her? Why is he torn apart every time they meet? As the story progresses there is real reason discovered for other people wanting Pettijohn dead, attempted murder, and several surprises that complete the story. WHO DID IT? Good and fast reading!

Summary: Murder+mystery+sex
Comment: This is another of Sandra Browns murder mysteries,written in her own unique style, with pacy dialogue, a good plot and some exciting sexy bits thrown in for good measure.
One of Charlestons most prominent businessmen, Lute Pettijohn, is found murdered in his hotel suite. Hammond Cross, an ambitious,young Assistant Attorney, is given the case which,if he proves successful in bringing the murderer to justice, would be his final stepping stone to the job of District Attorney.There is no shortage of suspects as Pettigrove was a ruthless and disliked man, but when the main suspect is proved to be a beautiful young phsycologist.Dr Alex Ladd, the story becomes interwoven with leads,red herrings and other people with a real reason for wanting Pettijohn dead.
A good,fast and engrossing read.

Summary: Brown Strikes Again
Comment: Sandra Brown's THE ALIBI is a nice change-of-pace for the author in that it's the rare instance in which her main character is male rather than the bordering-on-cookie-cutter female protagonists that have littered some of her recent work. Set in Charleston, the novel focuses on ADA Hammond Cross, who is brought a murder case involving one of the city's most prominent figures. It doesn't help that the victim wasn't particularly liked--by anyone--which leaves a laundry list of potential suspects. Unfortunately for Cross, the prime suspect is someone who has a fairly airtight alibi--him. You can pretty much see where this is going, which is fine because Brown has never exactly trafficked in brain surgery. But it's not helped along by Brown's cheesy, overly florid writing style when it comes to the "romantic" detours the book takes throughout. Nevertheless, this remains one of Brown's best, along with EXCLUSIVE, and should ease the pain of those who read the really awful STANDOFF before they got their hands on this.
