Alibi


I've read Alibi by Sydney Bauer and wish I hadn't! A waste of several hours of my life! It started out okay - a young pregnant girl is murdered and her boyfriend is eventually accused of the crime. There are a few different threads that point to the possibility that someone else may have actually dunnit. There is the evil ambitious DA who prosecutes the case while the "good" guy defends the "innocent" young man. The ending is a little too incredible, unbelievable and contrived. Disappointing to learn she's an Australian author. 21/2/5
