A is For Alibi by Sue Grafton

Eight years ago, glamorous Nikki Fife was jailed for the murder of her husband. She has always maintained her innocence, and hires P.I. Kinsey Millhone to find out what really happened. Adultery, dysfunctional family relationships, blackmail and two more murders come to light before Kinsey stumbles onto the truth that had been buried for almost a decade.

Bright and breezy with a likeable lead character, A is For Alibi was an easy and entertaining read. It had enough twists and turns to keep me interested until the end but not enough to keep me reading until the wee hours. In short, a solid crime thriller, but not a great one.

Read On: B is For Burglar is the next in the series. I don't feel any immediate desire to read the next but it would probably make a good holiday read. One for the Money by Janet Evanovich is another crime thriller with a strong and likeable female lead.
