[Sue · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has two purposes: it's a story of loneliness, finding love a second time, and family, and it's all wrapped up in a small-town murder.

[Rima Ayoub · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tatum’s Alibi is an engaging mystery that weaves together themes of love, loyalty, and justice. The story follows Ralph Loften, a semi-retired attorney, who becomes entangled in a complex case involving his daughter, Amy, and her boyfriend, Tatum Wilston, who are implicated in a double murder. Ralph's commitment to defending Tatum, despite personal and professional challenges, adds depth to the narrative.

Skrypczak crafts a suspenseful tale with well-developed characters and a plot that keeps readers invested. The pacing is steady, and the twists are satisfying, leading to a conclusion that resonates. While the book is a solid read, some aspects could have been explored further to enhance the overall impact.
