Fun and A guide to infidelity! What more can you need?,
This review is from: Perfect Alibis (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was quite intreagued to see how one can get away with infidelity. If there was an agency like P.A. anywhere I am sure it would be packed every day. This story, even if it is a product of imagination and creativity on behalf of the author, has been approached so well and with a lovely storyline that I could not put it down. I was anxious to see what would happen with the heroin, Stephanie and was pleasantly surprised to see that even though infidelity was the main aspect of this book it does not praise it in any way. Very well written and the author's humour and talent are clearly her best asset.

Watch out, Jilly Cooper!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfect Alibis (Paperback)
Stephanie, 39, fast approaching 40, feels unfulfilled and unloved. Her husband, George, pays more attention to the dog than to her. Her children pay her even less. When ex-lover, Troy, re-appears in her life she is is soon on the slippery slope to adultery. And then there's Perfect Alibis, a secret agency for adulterous wives. Is every woman in town cheating on her husband? So it would seem.The novel begins as a hilarious romp peopled with a monstrous regiment of women. But Jane Wenham-Jones is too clever a writer to leave it at that. Stephanie learns that although love may no longer be the thrilling adventure it once was, what she has is far more precious and fulfilling. Like Jane's first novel, Raising The Roof, Perfect Alibis manages to be hilarious and serious in the same breath. Jane has some very wise things to say about modern marriage and motherhood but she never lets a good joke pass her by. I can't wait to see where her third novel will take her. To me, she is the next Jilly Cooper, but without the toe-curling puns.

1.0 out of 5 stars
weak and unsatisfying plot,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfect Alibis (Paperback)
As a local resident in Kent and buying the book at the authors signing, I was looking forward to it. I hate to say it was very dissapointing, with a weak shallow and unbelievable plot and characters that you couldn't feel any empathy with. The idea of perfect alibis is very clever, I don't think it was carried off very well and having "orgasms" mentioned every couple of pages doesn't make me laugh or make it very sensual either!
