Leona Carson thought Steve Jessop was a decent man.... she was wrong. When she discovers Steve has been lying to her, she knows it's time to call it quits on their relationship. But Steve doesn't take kindly to being rejected by Leona and begins to campaign to ruin her life just like he has done to many other women.... Determined to stop Steve and get her life back, Leona asks the police for help, but Steve always has an alibi - someone ready to take the blame. Tired of Steve's lies, Leona tracks down his latest alibi, Hugo Rossiter. But rather than finding another ready excuse, she meets a man who is also sick of Steve's actions. And together, they are determined to make him pay.
This story starts slowly, but the pace and suspense build with every turn of the page. There's lots going on in this well written book. When Leona turns down her boss Steve as she thinks using her and will never leave his wife. But Steve is not prepared to let her go, so a great game of cat and mouse ensues. The characters are strong, well developed and well described. I was rooting all the way for Leona to get revenge on Steve. This story covers domestic violence, revenge and deceit.

I couldn't read The Alibi fast enough. It was so bizarre at times knowing that this man, Steve, had so much power over these women, however, those who climb the highest have the futherest to fall. Leona was the one person he underestimated. He was going to bring her down and everytime she tried to catch him or have him brought to justice he has an alibi. Will she ever bring him down or will his Alibi always protect him? As for Leona...don't get mad, get even! I love that and Evie Hunter brings it to life.

steve is an ***hole.
Book is about a guy who charms women into bed and does anything to “win” weather it be succeeding in his business or bedding his latest fling. This book is about what happens when Leona says “no” to him because she sees through his charm. Liked the twists. 4 stars.

Evie Hunter is an author whose books I always enjoy. I saw The Alibi was coming out and just knew I wanted to read it. I could not wait to be able to settle down and start reading.
Again, this author has written a book that grabs you immediately. I read this so fast! She is always guaranteed to bring an addictive story. This is exactly that. We meet Leona,who has just found out Scott isn't planning to leave his wife like he said he was. This causes her to turn him down, but Steve doesn't like rejection, and the worst thing is, he is also her boss.
He starts a serious revenge plot against her, which isn't just confined to badmouthing her everywhere he can. He makes it so personal that she attempts to go to the police for help. They aren't any help as Steve has an alibi, meaning the police can't help. Leona plays smart and finds an ally. Will they be able to get even? Or will Scott be too clever for them.
Leona is a woman after my own heart! A character that is strong enough not to let a man get away with such nasty acts. Her determination had me cheering her on all the way. Every character was unique, and not all of them were likeable. Scott, I could easily have slapped! Evie Hunter has created a hateful man, and it was great to hate on him alongside Leona. The way he treated his wife, too! I won't say anything else about the plot. Just read the book!
A revenge thriller that was over too soon. I enjoyed every single twist and turn, as Leoni and Hugo attempted to get their own back. Every chapter I read, I said to myself,'Just one more chapter'. Until I realised I was lying to myself, and I wasn't putting The Alibi down until I found out what was going to happen.
The Alibi is an entertaining tale that ticked all the boxes for me. I am so happy I found Evie Hunter's books! I love my hobby!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC.
Evie Hunter's "The Alibi" is an addictive revenge thriller with a compelling plot and well-drawn characters.
When Leona Carson discovers Scott's lies, she decides to end their relationship. However, Scott doesn't take rejection well. He begins a campaign to ruin Leona's life, just as he has done to many other women. Determined to stop Scott and reclaim her life, Leona seeks help from the police. But Scott always has an alibi—someone ready to take the blame. Frustrated by Scott's deceit, Leona tracks down his latest alibi, Hugo Rossiter. Instead of finding another excuse, she encounters a man who is equally fed up with Scott's actions. Together, they are determined to make him pay once and for all.
What Works:
- The story unfolds at a brisk pace, keeping readers hooked. The cat-and-mouse game between Leona and Scott adds tension and intrigue.
- Leona is a relatable protagonist, and Hugo brings depth to the narrative. Their motivations and struggles are well-developed.
- Evie Hunter explores themes of justice, revenge, and the consequences of deception. The moral dilemmas faced by the characters add layers to the story.
What Could Be Improved:
- The pacing is generally excellent, however there are moments when the plot feels rushed. A bit more exploration of certain events would enhance the overall impact.of the story.
That said, "The Alibi" is a gripping thriller and Evie Hunter's writing keeps readers engaged, and the unexpected twists make this a satisfying read. If you enjoy revenge-driven narratives with strong characters (as I do), then add "The Alibi" to your reading list.
Note: Evie Hunter is actually the pseudonym for two authors, Caroline McCall and Eileen Gormley, who met at a creative writing workshop in Dublin.

A nail-biting revenge thriller full of twists and turns you simply won’t see coming, The Alibi is the latest chiller by Evie Hunter.
When Leona Carson met Scott Jessop, she couldn’t believe her luck. She thought Scott was a decent man who had her best interests at heart – until she realised that he was a liar and a cheat. When she called time on their relationship, Leona thought that was the last she was going to see of Scott, however, he didn’t take kindly to her ending things with him, so he decides to use all the weapons in his arsenal to ruin her life. As Leona sees everything she has worked for disintegrate, she goes to the police, however, Scott has somebody taking the rap for him already – Hugo Rossiter. Is this going to spell the end for Leona? Or will Hugo’s involvement in Scott’s case end up being a blessing in disguise?
Hugo is certainly no friend of Scott’s. Like Leona he is sick and tired of his lies and manipulations. Hugo is fed up of being used by Scott and when he hears of Leona’s predicament, he realises that if they join forces they could just about destroy the man who has ruined their lives.
Will Leona and Hugo’s plans bear fruit? Or is it all going to end in tears?
The Alibi by Evie Hunter is a high stakes, unpredictable and heart-stopping tale of vengeance, payback and deception packed with shocking plots twists and jaw-dropping revelations that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Evie Hunter knows how to capture your attention from the off and keep you hooked until the last page and she has done this once again with her latest thriller, The Alibi.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Alibi by Evie Hunter was another excellent book from start to finish
and is full of twists and turns you won’t see coming, which made it a roller coaster read. This book was so good I can't recommend it enough especially as it was a great quick read and great for you holiday or your day off. So open you kindle or book and become apart of this story between Leona Carson and Scott Jessop.
Leona thought Scott was a decent man…s....but, she was so wrong. She discovers Scott has been lying to her, and she knows it’s time to call it quits on their relationship. Scott will not take kindly to being rejected especially by Leona and begins a campaign to ruin her life.......just like he has done too many other women.
So, determined to stop Scott and get her life back, Leona asks the police for help, but Scott always has an alibi and someone ready to take the blame. So, tired of Scott’s lies, Leona tracks down his latest alibi, Hugo Rossiter. However, rather than find another ready excuse, she meets a man who is also sick of Scott’s actions. They work together, and they're determined to make him pay for his actions one and for all….........Wow This book is so good.
I highly recommend it.

I was hooked from the first page and intrigued to find out how the story would develop. I thought that Leona Carson was a likeable character who, although vulnerable, had a strong, determined side to her. She finds that boss Steve Jessop is a man who, using his charm, gets what he wants and this comes at any cost. When Leona stands up to him he makes things difficult. He isn’t used to not getting his own way and being turned down. He has done this before to other women but Leona is determined to not let him get away with trying to ruin her life. Leona goes to the police but Steve always appears to be one step ahead. She finds help and support from an unlikely source - his friend Hugo Rossiter. I thought that the pace of this was spot on and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review

Leonor a Carson is being harassed by Steve Jessup because she didn’t want to give up as much as she wanted her to. He was her boss and her star was rising but now she can’t even get a call back for an interview because he has blacklisted her name and said she was on trustworthy but when she goes to his friennamy Hugo it is a game changer. I have never read a book by Evie Hunter before but I will definitely be looking for her books in the future. Her slowly plotted narrative really drew me in and I thought Leona and Hugo had a great chemistry from the beginning I also like the clever developments in her eventually going back to work for Steve with smartly done I just altogether enjoyed the book. It is a book I highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed. I would like to thank boldWoodBooks and NetGalley for my arc copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Leona thinks her boss Steve is a decent bloke but she quickly realises that is not the case. When Leona rejects Steve he doesn't take it too kindly and starts to harrass and make life hell for Leona so when she goes to the police he always has a alibi. One of those alibis is Hugo who also doesn't think much of Steve. Will Leona and Hugo be able to stop Steve? I very quickly felt that this book is a page turner as it drew me in bit by bit. It starts out a little slow but steadily picks up the pace. I enjoyed the plot of revenge and loved Leona's big dog who is a beautiful big softie at heart. I loved the dynamics of the relationships between the characters particularly between Leona and Hugo. A gripping story of domestic violence, revenge, deceit and lies that I relished. I have found another author to add to my ever growing list. I loved the writing style.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books.
When Leona Carson rejects the advances of her boss, Steve Jessop, the businessman won't take no for an answer and begins a campaign of smearing and harassment and the ineffectiveness of the police forces Leona has to take matters into her own hands.
The pace of the novel has been a little slow as we get to know the characters that although interesting, I have not come to convey their full potential. The plot, although interesting, didn't move me at all, perhaps because of the calmness of the narration. The book picks up the pace in the last part which is practically where all the action takes place.
That said, The Alibi is the ideal book to relax without expecting big shocks in the plot, it entertains but it is not the best of Evie Hunter.

The Alibi by Evie Hunter
Characters: 4/5
Plot: 4/5
Pace: 3/5
Thrill/Mystery 3/5
Overall: 4/5
I was torn as I have never read anything from this author before and the blurb sounded awesome and full of revenge and deceit. However, when I started reading I found the pace to be pretty slow and it took me much longer to get through the chapters than it normally takes me. I also felt the ending was rushed. Just as it picked up speed it really went to fast and the author added much more than needed as far as the abuse goes. This is definitely a domestic thriller that is full of lies, deceit, manipulation and revenge.
Thank you to NetGalley as well as the author and publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.

Leona Carson turned down her boss after feeling that he was using her and wasn’t about to leave his wife like he promised. Not used to being rejected Steve takes it badly and starts a payback campaign against her. Not happy with just blackening her name he starts tormenting her and doing things like posting dog mess through her door. When trying to get an injunction against him doesn’t work Leona decides to try and play him at his own game. Thinking his friend Hugo has given him a fake alibi Leona is shocked when confronting him things aren’t quite what they seem. There is lots going on with Steve and his in-laws don’t think much of him either. Will Leona be able to get something on Steve so she can get her life back or will Steve be one step ahead of her all the time. A good read.

3.5⭐️
What started off as a woman fighting back to reclaim her life is now the opening of a can of worms, personal scores being settled and a narcissist on the loose.
I enjoyed the plot. I love how the author wove the various complexities together- Leona’s fight, Steve’s revenge and Bizham’s downfall. It was very interesting to read and see how all of these events merge together.
I enjoyed the subtle chemistry between Hugo and Leona. I loved how Steve was portrayed and all of the characters.
For a book that took its sweet time developing (not in a bad way), the ending felt a bit rushed for me and did not provide the closure I felt the book deserved.
I received advanced copy via Netgalley and the review is entirely mine.

Leona thought her boss, Steve, was going to leave his wife for her, only realizing that wasn’t the case at the last moment. Not being one to take rejection well Steve harasses and stalks Leona. Deciding that she isn’t going to let him do that she decides she is going to get what she needs to get him to finally stop. Along the way she recruits Steve’s frienemy Hugo. Leona isn’t the only problem in Steve’s life however after his wife and father in law embarrass him in public.
This book lacked depth. And although the storyline had so much potential it fell flat - actually it never really got off the ground. I found it to be a boring read and almost didn’t finish.

Don’t get mad, get even.
When Leona turns down her bosses advances, she discovers he doesn’t take rejection lightly and has launched a revenge campaign to ruin her life. But the police won’t take her seriously, because Steve ALWAYS has an alibi!
How???
The premise of this really had me, but I didn’t feel the book delivered as it could have done. Slow in parts, rushed in others, and a little bit predictable, but nevertheless, a quick and mostly enjoyable read.

An excellent story that has a woman who breaks things off with her man named Scott but he does not like that so he does everything in his power to get back at her. At first, she has no help because even though a few police believe what she is saying there is no evidence that Scott was around. It finally takes a man by the name of Hugo to come to her aid for he is getting tired of Scott as well. But will he be able to help her, will just the two of them be able to get Scott to break and make a mistake? See what happens in this good book. I received this book from Netgalley.com

This is an easy read, perfect for summer reading, about revenge and domestic violence. It's slow paced at first but builds up towards the end. I liked the plot and the characterisation, however, it all wrapped up too neatly and quickly, leaving me with some unanswered questions. Perhaps there will be a follow up and we can find out more about Steve's wife and Leona. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC

Started So Well
This novel of "The Alibi" was really a quick read. However, the further I go into it, the less that is seemed to hold together. Maybe they do things differently enough in England, but I doubt that the characters would have acted this way in these circumstances, sometimes leaving me scratching my head. I was going to save this book for my wife, but she would have expected more involved intrigue.

This is a reasonably paced novel perfect for that Summer, or holiday read.
Story is a little different, good different to other books in this genre. The story starts slower and builds up and is a real cocktail of deceit, manipulation, revenge with domestic violence.
Character wise, I thought good detail was used and meant you liked and disliked certain characters as per the story.

Predictable
The heroine, misogynistic boss,and friendly best friend of the boss are key elements of yet another ho-hum " thriller". While she us described as a smart person, she disproves it by
1. reinvolving herself with the boss
2. not being aware of account aletts
I'll probably skip the next Evie Hunter

Predictable
I believe the author had so many words to deliver, so filled pages with redundancies. This could have been a short story. There was no mystery and the premise was ludicrous. Also, she needed a thesaurus. If I read prevaricate one more time… At best, it’s a fast beach read if there is no other option.

Leona Carson thought Scott Jessop was a decent man…she was wrong.
Leona wants him out of her life, but how far will she go to achieve this?.
I have read most books by this author, as always a gripping storyline with strong characters
The book takes you along at a good pace, building the characters and the storyline. I look forward to catching up with the other books from this author.

As always her writing is more than a 5 star. The Alibi has lots of twists and turns to keep you reading.
Do I recommend? Oh yes definitely

Evi Hunter is a talented writer and her books always keep you on edge.
This book has many twists and turns and certainly keeps you on your toes with some nasty characters.
Good story that starts off a little slow but builds up to a crescendo.
Worth a read.

Good story that starts off a little slow but builds up to a crescendo.
Worth a read.

Boring and repetitive--as in "fight your corner" (4 times), Steve is a misogynist (5 times), Hugo is handsome and rugged and muscular (too many times to count). I only continued reading this to find out why it got 5 star reviews. I still don' know.

Read this! You won't regret it.
A well developed, uncommon story that kept me on the edge of my seat-what would come next?! It's packed with fabulously entertaining characters, some to like, others to hate. Tough to tear yourself away.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #BoldwoodBooks for the read/review of #TheAlibi by #EvieHunter. I really enjoyed this book with the cat and mouse games and the deceit. I would recommend this book.

I love novels of betrayal and revenge and this was right up my alley. The villain was so deliciously vile, I couldn’t wait for him to get his inevitable comeuppance.
