BLOGTOUR - The Alibi Girl by C J Skuse

Joanne Haynes has a secret: that is not her real name.

And there’s more. Her flat’s not hers. Her cats aren't hers. Even her hair isn’t really hers.

Nor is she any of the other women she pretends to be. Not the bestselling romance novelist who gets her morning snack from the doughnut van on the seafront. Nor the pregnant woman in the dental surgery. Nor the chemo patient in the supermarket for whom the cashier feels ever so sorry. They're all just alibis.

In fact, the only thing that’s real about Joanne is that nobody can know who she really is.

But someone has got too close. It looks like her alibis have begun to run out….

My Review:

Thank you to the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

An interesting, exciting read that kept me on edge throughout, uncomfortable but it an interesting way.

‘Joanne’ is quite the character, in fact unlike any I have read before. A liar, deceptive and complex; an interesting choice for narrator of this story. Written so well though, with a fantastic set of personalities that the reader gets to know. It would be easy for readers to dislike her but I think she does get to you a little bit and does make you feel sorry for her and even protective.

I want to be careful not to give too much away, its full of many twists and turns, some may shock you, others maybe not so much but will lead you into thinking many things and realising others.

I really started to enjoy discovering more about her past. At times I felt sad, concerned and quite emotional by the themes being touched upon, there is some violence.

This is definitely a book that will keep you guessing, it’s enjoyable, interesting and will have you hooked. I highly recommend for thriller fans and those looking for something
