Synopsis

Some secrets never stay buried. . .

When Jack, a disillusioned Cambridge graduate stuck in a dead-end job, meets the enigmatic Giselle on a train from Paris and she agrees to accompany him to a wedding, he believes he's found the answer to his problems. But things take a chilling turn when a blizzard traps the guests in a desolate Northumbrian guesthouse. Snowed in with a cast of odd, watchful strangers, suspicion builds as lies begins to unravel.

As the blizzard rages outside, so too does the tension inside. Whispers in the night. Locked doors. A mounting sense of being followed. When the snow finally thaws, one truth becomes terrifyingly clear: not everyone trapped in the house will leave it.

Gripping, elegant and unsettling, The Alibi is a haunting mystery about lies we tell, love we can't forget, and consequences we can't outrun. Perfect for readers of Laura Purcell, Kate Morton and Louise Douglas.

I have always been a fan of crime thrillers, especially those that are European. The Alibi is a Scandinavian Nordic noir police procedural and it had me hooked from the very first page. Moa and Fredrik become entangled in an investigation of a string of violent murders on the Friland islands in Swed......more

Goodreads review by Thrillergeek on February 13, 2025

This was a real (as we call it in the Netherlands) Scandi thriller. Loved how the story is written, detailed and building more and more suspense. You really want to know what is going on, so you keep reading. The book is like a magnet, and the Scandinavian thrillers tend to have that effect on me😉 Th......more
