Someone is murdering unfaithful men and dismembering their bodies. To get to victims, the killer uses “alibi services,” companies that provide alibis to people who are having an affair.

Special Agent Mary Stevens works in the Investigative Support Unit at the FBI, a unit that handles serial crimes, including those of serial killers. Can she stop the Alibi Murderer, when she doesn’t even know whether it’s a man or a woman?

This tautly written thriller features a strong and singular heroine and a wily and focused killer, both bent on carrying out their own definition of “justice.”

    " Terribly written, boring, disjointed thriller which did not thrill. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Nancy | 2/10/2014

    " This book is amazing. So many stories inside stories, with it all tied together by a man-hating serial killing woman. Fascinating! "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Monica | 2/2/2014

    " May's mystery book title. Decent plot and interesting serial killer. Fast read. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Karen | 1/7/2014

    " Had high hopes I'd found a new author with several books that I would like. This was pretty disappointing and the end was obviously wrapped up while the author was running out the back door to her publishers. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Darlene | 1/3/2014

    " I love Nancy Taylor's page turning novels. This was the first to disappoint, but not to the point that I will not continue to seek books by this author "

    " Started reading My Lost Daughter and then realized that I had missed reading The Cheater, which features the same characters. So, I went back and read this one first so I was up to date on the characters. Interestingly some of the same descriptions and flashbacks are identical in each book. Rosenberg doesn't even try use different words to describe the settings or events....just reprints them from each book. I shouldn't complain though, at least she makes an effort to bring you back up to speed on the characters so you really could read one without the other. I don't think you will find another fictional character judge (the main character Lily) so morally and emotionally conflicted. She is co-dependent on men, women, whatever meets her needs and keeps her from being on her own, and at times I thought her personal decisions to be immature. I wish Rosenberg would have resolved the case in the courtroom about the little boy who was murdered by his parents who overdosed him on bipolar medicine and ritalin. I like Lily better as a judge, presiding over her cases, then reading about her personal mess of a life. Now I am going to go back and finish My Lost Daughter. "

    " this was a very interesting read. A twist. A female serial killer. "

    " Great read! Couldn't put it down!! "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Leslie | 12/22/2013

    " Good plot and kept me interested, but I didn't like the coarse language, and the end happened too quickly. Lily wasn't entirely sympathetic. Maybe if I'd read some of the earlier books first I would have found her more engaging. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Donna | 12/3/2013

    " Slow in the beginning....there are so many stories running thru this plot - but the book picked up about half way thru. Not a surprise ending. It was ok. "

    " I enjoyed this book. The characters were interesting. "

  • 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5 Kay | 11/28/2013

    " This may be the worst book I've read this year. It operates from the "What If" scenario of writing. There is a one line plot and the rest of the pages are filled in when the author thinks "What if....." "

    " Great story, great plot, awful characters. You just could not relate to them unless you are a complete sociopath! Overall I liked it but it would have been an awesome book if the characters had been a bit better. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Carol | 6/3/2013

    " It was okay. It took a while to get into it. The ending was pretty good but it didn't start getting pretty good until about the middle of the book. Some of the book was hard to follow. "

    " Can't recommend "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Ashley | 9/19/2012

    " This book was kind of "meh". Your typical murder mystery. The end seemed to come together way too easily and way too fast, and before I knew it was I was like "oh, wait, that was it?" "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Kim | 6/19/2012

    " This is a great new legal thriller by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg, as Lily Forrester returns years later as a judge, and has a bad new husband. This has intrigue, suspense and a bit of romance with high-packed action. A good summer read too. Enjoy! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Chandler | 12/3/2011

    " This is a fun little read about a female serial killer who kills men who are cheating on their wives. It seems like a cotton candy read but Rosenberg's knowledge of the law makes it far meatier. "

    " Very good book. I couldn't put it down. I wish they made it longer due to it was all in 5 days. Then they tried to sneak a little love and lust with Agent Stevens, kind of threw me off bc it was so fast. But all in all I loved it. Already got The Lost Daughter and can't wait to begin it. "
