“Bestseller Ellis conceals and reveals information like a skilled poke player in his strong fourth legal thriller… Ellis’s own background as an attorney gives weight to the courtroom scenes, and the plot twists keep readers guessing throughout.”

“Ellis’s plotting is playful yet airtight and infused with enough warped psychology to provide lip-chewing thrills. This fourth Jason Kolarich novel is an excellent choice for readers who seek connections with powerful characters.”

“…The Last Alibi proves Newton’s first law: once Ellis puts this novel in motion, the forces acting on the story work only to make it move faster… The Last Alibi is exciting, fresh and suspenseful—and Ellis fails to halt the momentum of this book with ‘the end.’ The series is still very much an object in motion.”
