Another amazing story by Jenny Hilborne! I'm normally a fantasy reader but this story had enough of everything else to keep me hooked and turning the pages (despite the lack of elves LOL)
If you love a good mystery, with even a touch of romance thrown in too, be sure to read this one! Loved the characters and setting. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing right til the end! Be sure to check out her first book Madness and Murder too. You'll be hooked!

Ms. Hilborne has crafted a great mystery with interesting characters. Isabelle Kingsley is a woman on the edge because she's found that her husband is cheating on her. She's been married to Clark for six years and thought their marriage was happy and doing well. She knows that something is going on and presumes it is an extramarital affair. She also knows that her best friend, Darius Martin, is avoiding her. He must know something about Clark's behavior, but Darius has his own problems to worry...more
This mystery novel is very well written. I enjoyed reading it and it reads really quickly and easily. The characters are pretty well drawn out and you are put into the minds of just about everyone of consequence so you kind of have a view of everything that's happening. However, it would have been so much better if I didn't see all the plot twists and the culprit from a mile away. It was still enjoyable, but in a mystery I'd like a little more. . . mystery. Maybe being in everyone's mind gives a...more

I agree with another reviewer. This reads like a b-movie. Not one of the characters is believable or appealing or multidimensional. And there really was no mystery.
The story is about an apparently happy, well-adjusted woman but the character reads like she's a recluse with a victim complex. Her best friend is a gay model who seems to have nothing better to do than drink and smoke joints. You never get any idea about her loser of a husband. Then there is the cops ... Sorry, I met Jenny Hilborne...more

No Alibi (Kindle Edition)by Jenny Hilborne
When I read Madness and Murder by Jenny Hilborne, and was so impressed by this author that I ordered No Alibi to read on my Kindle.I love reading mystery suspense thrillers and this author excels in this category.This book was amazing! She really knows how to write...and allows the reader to follow close behind. I couldn't put this book down.

mystery fans, fans of San Francisco settings
Awesome mystery from a fresh, new voice.
Or at least, new to me. Jen Hilborne is a surprisingly articulate American--for a Brit. I'll admit to knowing in advance that this transplanted author hailed from the U.K., so I think I subconsciously expected those little Brit-isms to slip in here and there. Not that that would be bad, mind you. :)
This story was not one more big cliche. Different characters, different settings, different storytelling. Hilborne comes off like a seasoned pro at this stuff....more

This was a really good book! The story line was well written. I love a book that makes you feel emotion towards the characters. Jenny Hilborne has certainly been added to my list of favorite authors. This is the 3rd book I have read of hers (Madness and Murder, and Hide and Seek) Looking forward to her next project!!
I loved No Alibi written by Jenny Hilborne. It’s a thriller that every woman who has a cheating partner will wonder if in some way it happened to them what they would do. There are lots of twists and turns, a bit like a spider web, and the ending will surprise you….in a good way!
Another good mystery with plenty of twists and unexpected turns. The ending threw me, nice twist there. I enjoyed the first book.
reads like a B movie
"No Alibi" is a very well crafted work of mystery and writing that can capture you very easily. The first thing I noticed was the writing style and let me tell you, the flow of this book is great. I liked the characters, I felt like I was in San Francisco, and the dialouge. Usually at for me dialouge is a hit or miss with some authors, this was a homerun. If you like a mystery with some suspense and romance on the side, you will love this book.

I'm a native Brit currently living in San Diego. San Francisco is one of my favorite places and the setting for most of my mystery/thrillers. It's diverse, exciting, and easy for a killer to move around!
