About this listen

For Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez, former spouses and current law partners, the stakes have never been higher. In the seventh installment of this best-selling, critically acclaimed series, the duo learns that their 16-year-old daughter's boyfriend has been arrested on suspicion of murdering his father, a Superior Court judge. Bobby Fairchild, however, claims to have found his father's body upon returning home from a date with Grace. The police, who found Bobby at the scene of the crime holding the murder weapon, contend that his parents' acrimonious divorce sent the boy over the edge.

With their daughter as Bobby's only alibi, Mike and Rosie take the case and uncover a sex scandal that takes them down San Francisco's darkest alleys and into the homes of the city's most prominent citizens.

This is an excellent series by Sheldon Siegel. When I first heard about it—Mike Daley, ex-priest, lawyer leaving his law firm, practicing with his ex-wife, etc, I thought there were too many “gimmicks” for this to be a book that could work well. Wow, was I wrong. This series has consistently good stories (usually murders with good courtroom drama), as well as nicely balanced background stories of the people involved—mainly Mike Daley and his one time wife, now law partner Rosie Fernandez and their kids.

This story begins with a situation that is very recognizable to parents. Their daughter Grace is 16, now dating, and they are realizing she has grown up faster than they had recognized. They are still trying to catch up with the fact that she is now a teen, doing normal teenaged activities.

Now her boyfriend is accused of committing a murder. He vehemently protests his innocence, and Grace has become his alibi—since they were together at the time the police have established for the murder.

Daley/Fernandez agree to take on the case to represent Bobby in court, but this is not easy—with a lot of unanswered questions, and knowing that eventually their own daughter might have to take the stand. As always, this is a tense, fast moving story, very engaging, and with the family issues front and center in this, also very human and appealing. It wasn’t hard to think how I would have felt as a parent with a child being involved in such a serious situation. This book, and the entire series are well worth listening. And very good narration by Tim Campbell, as well.

Best one yet

I like this series very much. However, I almost didn’t finish this book. The majority of the core characters were unlikeable. Rosie’s mother, their daughter, her boyfriend, the boyfriend’s mother were all argumentative, obnoxious people. To finish the story I had to skip to the end to see if it would be worth it to slog on through chapter after chapter of obnoxious people.

Campbell was excellent as always. However, I don’t know if the boyfriend’s mother would have been as nasty & offensive if Campbell had changed her projection.

Good Series, Issue the Characters

Love love love Rosie and Mike

Always an interesting and fast moving story. A very realistic legal case with current social issues included. There is enough suspense and legal twists to keep you guessing. The reader is excellent. I hope this series continues beyond the niinth one as I as I would like to read another one.

Another Great Daley & Fernandez Adventure

Perfect Alibi is the 7th novel in the 8 novel Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez legal thriller series by Sheldon Siegel. I have now completed the series.

This story is personal for Mike and Rosie as they defend the 17 year old boyfriend of their 16 year old daughter. Her boyfriend is charged with the first degree murder of his dad, a lawyer and judge, and he is caught with the murder weapon in his hands standing beside his dead father's body. There are some dramatic twists as the court case comes to an end. There is lots of courtroom action. Tim Campbell does a great job of narrating all eight novels in the series.

I have enjoyed to listening to all novels in the Daley/Fernandez series and hope the author will continue it.

Outstanding legal thriller!!
