About this listen
JOANNE HAYNES HAS A SECRET.
THAT IS NOT HER REAL NAME.
And there’s more. Her flat isn’t 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…

Great characters, gritty and real.
If you’re a fan of C J Skuse, this won’t disappoint. A great story teller, with a great voice. I’m always so sad to reach the end...

I wanted to love this book...
I loved Sweet Pea and In Bloom I thought they were utterly fantastic and Skuse quickly went to my No. 1 list of ‘must listens’.
This book is written in that same fantastic detail which totally draws you in and Skuse is clearly a super talented writer, really skilful.
However unfortunately the storyline just doesn’t work for me. The main character was unlikable so I wasn’t rooting for her nor did I find her endearing in anyway. It all seemed very unbelievable and the main ‘event’ of the book which it leads up to is annoyingly left out of the entire storyline! You find out the before and after but not the during and the main character’s ‘way’ just becomes irritating.
I hate to write this review because I wanted to love it and downloaded it the day of release but unfortunately didn’t work for me. I’ll still look forward to the next release as her style of writing is fantastic.

Enjoyable
An interesting start but flagged a bit with a dull end. Excellent narrators. I prefer something a bit grittier

Amazing
First review- this was an amazing read. I finished it in a few days as I found myself thinking about it when I wasn’t listening. Very sad but compelling story. I read Skuse’s Sweatpea and In Bloom and honestly they were tough to beat in my estimations but this has succeeded. Can’t recommend enough.

Not my cup of tea though did love Sweetpea
I really did like the unsettling but often hilarious "Sweetpea" ... gave up on "In Bloom" as felt it did not measure up to its prequel but I was excited about getting " The Alibi Girl " and loved the intriguing synopsis - I struggled for long enough to discover the answers to many of the questions posed by the synopsis and then I just had enough and threw the towel in.
I found the narrator the be whiny and whingy - as was the character. in fairness but I got sick of her endless anxiety and self analysis. I just began to find it all wearing and rather tiring and the spectre of mental illness and grim topics made me stop enjoying it.
The overall plot was excellent and had it been a strong character who was more dynamic and less disturbed I would have actually enjoyed it as it was very clever and endearing in parts, very well written also, but I just found it frustrating and depressing - and just preferred not to read any further.
Would I try another CJ Skuse audiobook?
I don't know as, her writing seems to be getting further and further away from the first book which I really enjoyed and more into territory which I just do not really feel good or comfortable reading - so great book I am sure, but just not for me.

Brilliant story!
It is a bit slow, so you have to stick with it. And then suddenly one just can’t stop listening and get so caught up in the story. It is brilliant!!

Not as good as other books *SPOILER*
Struggled with it. Disappointing compared to the authors previous books. Waited for a big twist at the end and there wasnt.
The narrators were good.

Another great book by C J Skuse
I absolutely loved Sweepea and In Bloom, so I down loaded this on the basis it was written by CJ, and
I wasn’t disappointed. It’s all you would expect from CJ; dark, twisty, complex characters and fabulous ‘no idea where it is going’ plot. It flips between present day and past, and touches the wider issues of mental health, bullying, paranoia and trying to hide who you really are.
It’s hard to write a detailed review for this without giving any spoilers!
If you are a fan of the author, download and listen, it will have you gripped.
