Book Reviews of The Alibi Man
Book Review: Exciting and Not at All Predictable
Summary: 4 Stars
Tami Hoag has certainly mastered the art of writing a good thriller. She is one of those writers who can usually be relied upon to write consistently good books and there are not many of those about. Never one to hold back on her descriptions of brutal death, Tami Hoag manages to excel herself in this book.
This is a book that revolves around the Palm beach elite and the lengths that they are prepared to go to to protect their own. Some of the people they class as their own are a group of powerful and wealthy Palm Beach bad boys, who call themselves the Alibi Club. A name that is self explanatory.
In any other society they would have been locked up a long time ago and the key thrown away, but this group have a knack of escaping the law. Well escaping the law is one thing, but escaping justice is another . . .
Book Review: Amazingly Bad
Summary: 2 Stars
Cashing in on the success of her last novel - Dark Horse, Hoag uses the same female lead character to weave a story that's, painfully slow and unnecessarily graphic in the gore department. Furthermore, it's hard to enjoy a book when one cannot like or respect its lead character. Elena Estes is a charmless, self-centered Eve Dallas wanna-be(In Death Series by JD Robb). Yet, unrealistically, several men seem to be attracted to her. The author repeatedly mentions how "cynical" Elena is, but has her sympathize and almost melt with sorrow for a psychotic killer. I found that a little sickening. But then again, perhaps it's not surprising that one psycho would have sympathy for another.Book Review: Alibi Man
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved THE ALIBI MAN. It was great! With this book I just rediscovered how much I like Tami Hoag. Her dialogue is always great and right on for the story. It's the second book with Elena Estes as the main character. I liked DARK HORSE, the first one, too, but this one was even better. The romance with Landry is barely there but it sizzles anyway. You never feel like you're waiting for a scene to end and the plot just moves faster and faster. I'm not normally into horses, but it really worked as the background for the crime. Keep 'em coming, Tami!Book Review: Struggling to get thru it, trying to stay interested.
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Tami Hoag's book. The Alibi Man...hmm, I am half way thru it and trying my hardest to stay focused and finished the book. Its not bad, but its not good either. I am too far in to just put the book down and forget about it, and staying with it is a struggle. I will stick it out and try to finish, but I hope the next Hoag book is better than this one.
Book Review: Enjoyable read
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the first Tami Hoag book that I have read. I did enjoy it even though I don't have an interest in the horse/polo world. The characters were interesting and she held my interest right through the end, which is something James Patterson has never been able to do. On the whole this is a great beach read!
