All I Want For Christmas is an Alibi
“It was a dark and stormy night. A very dark and very stormy night. I sort of felt like the Red Baron on a mission, all alone battling the incoming onslaught. Although I’m not up against a barrage of bullets. Not gunpowder and lead, just snow beating down relentlessly.”
Some people describe Lacey Wheeler as the poster child for a woman not in her right mind, so, when her boyfriend of 7 years turns up dead in his office with a pair of 8-inch shears jutting out of his chest, crazy Lacey is the only suspect.
Lacey quickly flees to northern Michigan through a snowstorm while she contemplates how to prove her innocence. Once there, a whirlwind of unforeseen events seizes control of her life, leaving her feeling confused and helpless.
But then she meets Luke, an incredibly handsome hunk of a state trooper who believes in her innocence. But everything is uncertain. Will Lacey be charged with murder? Will Luke and Lacey fall in love? And what of the real killer? Read this action-packed thriller where anything can and does happen. You’ll never guess the ending!

Great 1st Effort!
I initially appreciated the Hemingway-esque plain prose and short sentences. I suspect Lacey is a bit of an alter-ego for the author.
The plot was OK, but some of the events and circumstances were a bit fanciful.
Being from Michigan, some of the settings (and the road-closing blizzard!) were very familiar to me.
Enjoyed it!

Good story. Decent characters. I don’t like books even fiction that can’t maintain geographical accuracies. I’m from Michigan, specially the areas she describes and just too many inaccurate descriptions.

It was a fun easy read. Being super critical, using “I” as the object of a preposition throughout the book drove me crazy, plus the epilogue talked about Derrick rather than Dexter. I think a good proofreader would have caught those errors.

A fun romp that is similar to a Stephanie Plum novel. It would make a fantastic Great American Family/Hallmark movie.
Nice job for a 1st time author.

Cute Book! It was easy to read and enjoyable. Not to gruesome for a Christmas murder. And it was fun having it be based in Michigan.

A fairly contrived mystery, laced with humor. A good first effort by the author.
