Thank you Minotaur and NetGalley for the eARC of Nine Lives and Alibis!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I really struggled with this one.  Part of the reason is I was in a really bad reading slump but part of it was the pacing of the book.  So much of the plot was revealed on the back of the book that it took 150 pages to catch up to it.  This made the first half really slow and not very exciting.  However, after hitting the halfway point, Nine Lives and Alibis got much better!  Overall, I feel like the synopsis spoiled too much and the first half could have been much shorter.  However, the second half was great and I wish the first half had been more succinct so we could get to the mystery faster!
