A som i Alibi


Den ska jag lyssna på nu under mina promenader. Det är den första boken i alfabetsserien så jag har många att se fram emot.


Jag kommer lyssna på den på svenska men jag hittar inte något på nätet som kan berätta om den. Inga recentioner och den går inte att hitta på bokklubbar heller.


Men så här står det på den hennes hemsida.


When Laurence Fife was murdered, few mourned his passing. A prominent divorce attorney with a reputation for single-minded ruthlessness on behalf of his clients, Fife was also rumored to be a dedicated philanderer. Plenty of people in the picturesque Southern California town of Santa Teresa had a reason to want him dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful wife, Nikki. With motive, access, and opportunity, Nikki was their number one suspect. The jury thought so too.


Eight years later and out on parole, Nikki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killed her late husband.


A trail that is eight years cold. A trail that reaches out to enfold a bitter, wealthy, and foul-mouthed old woman and a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted. A trail that leads to a lawyer defensively loyal to a dead partner -- and disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to an ex-wife, brave, lucid, lovely -- and still angry over Fife's betrayal of her; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for too few skills -- and too many debts left owing: The trail twists to include every turn until it finally twists back on itself with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.
