  • Broken Alibi: Lies, Memory and Justice

    Tim Vicary

    eBook (White Owl Publications, July 11, 2016)
    How much should you lie for the man you love? Can you really know your ex husband? And how can suicide look like murder? Just three of the questions which confront barrister Sarah Newby, as she struggles to revive her legal career. Shaken by her second divorce and the murder of her former lover, Sarah wonders if all her relationships with men are doomed. Her admirer, Detective Terry Bateson, hopes not, but what if he, too, has a secret he’d prefer to keep hidden? And if Sarah’s client is innocent of murder, why has he told such obvious lies?'An outstandingly good read, that grips your attention from page one! In my opinion, this book is on a par or even better than those written by Peter James! Highly recommended.' Paul Graham Brazendale'This book kept me company under the coffee table for a few hours overnight where I was hiding from the worst electrical storm I've ever experienced!!! I almost forgot how frightened I was!!!' Elizabeth Kunze.'The characters are real people and the story is riveting from beginning to end, a perfect mix of the predictable twists that you yearn for and totally unexpected turns that throw you off balance. I couldn't put it down.' Michael Steinbeck Reeves.'Suicide? Murder? Get yourself into this series as fast as you can!' Loreen Lindsey.'The best one so far! Even the twist had a further twist which helped to keep me engrossed as well as up for a particularly late night as I couldn't turn out the light until I had go to the very end of the book.' Jonathan Stephenson.
