Kinsey Millhone thought she had seen enough to understand the shape of a mystery — until Nikki Fife walked into her office with a contract that challenged every assumption. “Find out who killed my husband,” she says. The problem? It’s an old case, cold and catalogued, with evidence lost and clues clouded by time.
As Kinsey steps into the shadows of old money, simmering resentments, and unspoken sins, she uncovers more than she bargained for: betrayal in gentle voices, alibis that rest on lies, and a murderer who has carefully buried both motive and track. With every twist she follows, danger sharpens — not just for the truth, but for her own life.
A Is for Alibi is where quiet mid-century Americana turns sinister, and one determined detective reminds us what it means to see in the dark.
