Review

"Treat yourself to an exotic setting, laughs, and suspense."-Janet Evanovich, author of Hot Six

"Tom Corcoran knows the human heart, sure as hell knows how to write a good book, and knows Key West-a setting so real you'll get a sunburn." -Steve Hamilton, author of The Hunting Wind

"Captures the soul of Key West, all its eccentricities and secrets...expertly plotted." -South Florida Sun Sentinel

"Tom Corcoran's Octopus Alibi is a true marvel of a mystery, a deeply engrossing guidebook to the mango opera that is life in Key West."-Jim Harrison, author of Off to the Side, Dalva, and Legends of the Fall

"A nifty little ragtop of a tale."-The News Observer (Titusville, FL)

"Corcoran is a superb writer."-St. Petersburg Times

"Alex Rutledge should be investigating Key West for years."-Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

Product Description

The murder of a long-missing woman, the death of a mentor, and the suicide of Key West's mayor are revealed on a warm April day. Alex Rutledge, a freelance photographer with ties to city and county law enforcement, first must help friend Sam Wheeler identify a body in Ft. Lauderdale. Hours later, in Key West, Rutledge documents the mayor's demise. He also is forced to confront the death of Naomi Douglas, who encouraged his creative photography. All this on the day before Alex's departure for a big-dollar photo job on Grand Cayman Island. Home-front troubles compound his dilemmas. Teresa Barga, his housemate, is absorbed by Whitney Randolph, an old college friend with cash, bent morals, and more alibis than an octopus has suckers. Randolph, he learns, has slithered into the suspense, linking himself to both scam and murder victims. The police see no crimes. Only Alex senses foul play. And when out-of-character friends, duplicitous officials, and violence take him to labyrinths of corruption, he is faced with the most dangerous encounter of his life.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent follow to his other great Rutledge Novels, Jui 24 2003
Par Un client
This review is from: Octopus Alibi: An Alex Rutledge Novel (Hardcover)
I was an inhabitant of the islands in the early 80's before the place got popular and crowded. Corcoran's description of the characters and the long term residents of the keys are dead on. If you know the keys and key west well, you will really enjoy this book and the other Rutledge novels. Fans of the Travis McGee series and Carl Hiassen's books would really enjoy this story as well as the others Corcoran mysteries. Keep them coming Tom!

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Key West Mystery, Jui 8 2003
Par Charles J. Marr (Cambridge Springs, Pa USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Octopus Alibi: An Alex Rutledge Novel (Hardcover)
Of all the major "Keys" writers, Corcoran seems least frequent in publication, and this pays off in well written novels, or at least fast moving novels. He really is fun to read. Additionally, if you are "into" Key West, he's your writer. While there are actually two trips up and down to Miami, and a couple of "off island" forays, this book is centered in and plays on the ambience of that "last place in America." Alex Rutledge, Corcoran's photographer hero, tools up and down Simonton on his Cannondale or strolls the sidewalks of Duval, avoiding the overflow from Sloppy Joe's, dodging into Captain Tony's around the corner for an early beer. Certainly the Key West life style. There are many other little treasures: remembered sidewalk restaurants, cascades of bouganvillia on corners, the ocean mist, happy hour at Hog's Breath, regularly painted empty buildings. These are the observations of someone who knows the streets over time.

Dirty deeds in this novel, surprise, are linked to real estate development and illegal immigration. The two plots work, but are not systematically linked to each other. These are mingled with the unraveling of a relationship between Rutledge and his "roomie" Teresa, that not unfrequent disaster that comes about when two decide to live as one and abandon the freedom of separate apartments. As the novel drew to a close, I had the feeling that there were three distinct stories, all joined at Alex Rutledge. Still, both mystery plots are exciting, and enough to keep anyone reading the novel awake an extra hour. The romance ends, as is common in "Keys" novels with a promise of future solace.

For those who remember the days of clearing the pier of ships for sunset, or "tank" island (before the "condofying" of the island perimeter) wise contemporaries who bought Conch cottages for a song seem just a little long in the tooth. Such folk, also, have to be in their mid to late fifties and for we less lucky mortals self-knowledge forms plausability questions. One bit of K.W. zaniness, which someone eventually will seriously propose is a developer's Malory Square Dome with recorded projected sunsets to allow tourists to view the ten best in history. No mention of a guaranteed green flash, however.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The best Rutledge novel yet, Mai 6 2003
Par Gary D Goff (N Fort Myers, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Octopus Alibi: An Alex Rutledge Novel (Hardcover)
I have read all of the Alex Rutledge novels by Corcoran and this one beats them all. I felt as if I were on the streets of Key West. The dialogue is gutsy and dead on, characters to love and hate. Tom Corcoran spins a murder mystery with the best of them.
