Bestselling author, Debra Webb’s series, Colby Agency: The Next Generation Book 2, Alibi For Murder, findsAllie Foster, who is happy to go to work, then spend time at home alone. She gets a knock at the door and lets FBI agents in. They have a video showing her leaving a hospital room where a man she doesn’t know was murdered. She hasn’t been to that hospital for at least five years after leaving her employment as a result of a touchy situation. Because she is accused of the murder, she reaches out to an old friend who is an attorney at the Colby Agency, and they try to find the real murderer. Allie also finds out that her parent’s death in an auto accident was actually a murder, and works to find out why and who carried it out.

Debra Webb certainly knows how to tell a story, and does a good job of this futuristic novel where AI is popular and robots are advanced far enough that they look and act human. The scenarios keep readers enthralled, and on the edge. This particular novel is short (only 218 pages), so it is a fast read, and difficult to put down. Her characters are viable, and she does an excellent job of developing them. Allie, the protagonist, is likeable, and it is surprising that Stephen Durham, the attorney for the Colby Agency is a supporting character – one would think he would be the main character, but instead, Allie is. No matter what the reason, it works. Most readers will want to read the previous novel as well as the subsequent novels. For those who opt to listen to the audio book, the narrator is excellent and makes it easy to listen to. The audible version is highly recommended.

All told, readers who like futuristic novels will love this series.
