An abusive womanizer, a manipulative friend. Scott Jesop is unreliable and unpredictable, selfish and hunting his new victim with no concerns about morality and honor. As he keeps bullying and threatening his old employee Leone who - dared! - to left him, he needs the help of his friend and business partner Hugo Rossiter. But for a long time already, Hugo has enough of him and it´s ready to make a change. Together with Leone, they have a smart plan that may teach Scott a lesson.
The Alibi by Evie Hunter is relatable and follows a slow pace, good enough to make you curious about what can happen next. It allows to build the ambiance to better know the characters and carefully follow their next moves. All during the book I felt that I should be perfectly focused in order to understand and follow what the characters do plan to do, mostly to each other. I wish I can find out more about the personal histories of the characters though as it may have helped to understand the motivation behind their decisions.
For someone looking for a thrilling book of revenge, to be tasted cold, under the sun umbrella while taking a rest from the wild life, The Alibi by Evie Hunter is a recommended read. It keeps you awake but also reveals some bits of knowledge about human nature and its motivations.
Rating: 3.5 stars
