Description
Merritt Saxe, newly hired public relations specialist with the Florida prison system, answers an urgent plea from their division’s director, Willard Ware Baintree. Following his orders, she finds him in the apartment of his mistress, his bloody T-shirt and the mistress’s dead body convincing her the criminal justice superstar is himself a criminal. The director claims he didn’t kill the woman and coerces Merritt into being his alibi.
Meanwhile, as the director pulls her farther into his web of lies, Merritt breaks with her longstanding boyfriend and begins a steamy relationship with hunky attorney Israel Goodspeed, whose brother works for the director. Yet how can she trust Israel with her secret or her heart when she suspects the director has been orchestrating their relationship to keep her in line? Speaking out about the cover-up could cost her more than time in jail…it could cost her life.

A good read. I liked the story and the characters. It was just a little slow. 4*. Netgalley and back lit pr.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview The Alibi by Marilyn Baron.
What do you do when your boss asks you to cover for you - well depends on what it is...and WHY...
This is a quick read about a young woman who is asked to be an alibi for her boss with unexpected consequences.
Fast read but somewhat predictable. Good for a snowy Friday night.

Marilyn Baron writes really well but may need to think about the classification of her novel as I would have classified this as a romance novel
Meritt Saxe is a newly appointed PR consultant at the Florida state prison. One morning she gets a call to go pick up her boss, the prison director where she finds him in an extremely compromising situation. He is covered in the blood of his dead mistress even he professes his innocence and he expects Merritt to not only believe him but to provide him with an alibi.
The story is more focused on Merritt's love triangle than the actual murder which spoiled it a little for my liking but overall it was an easy to read novel.

A well written story . Totally worth ☆☆☆☆☆ starts. I can't wait to reading more books from this author. Thanks to Netgalley, for allowing me to review this book . My opinion is my own.

A fast paced, short easy read. I was intrigued from the first page. This novel was the whole package, gave me lies, deceit, betrayal, love, shame, and romance (even though I'm not a huge fan) but having so much of the other stuff made me not care about the romance part being there. Kudos!
