Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Joanne Hayes has a secret. That is not her real name.
The Alibi Girl
What you need to know before your trail
And there’s more. Her flat’s not 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….

BookTrail The Alibi Girl set in England
A mix of vague locations here, mentioned only in passing and perhaps with a fleeting nod after that. The thing is , the girl in the novel tells one lie after another so who knows where she is and where she goes?
There’s a sense that this is Bristol, and other locations in North West England such as Spurrington On Sea (fictional). We find out the dad works at John Lennon airport and that he supports Bristol City and these are the only two real settings really in the story.
Well there’s a train ride to Taunton to see an aunt..
Where is she, who is she? With the Alibi, it’s apt that you never really know…
