About this audiobook
It's the city's most infamous after-hours haunt-a glittering hotbed of deals and debaucheries. The sordid death of Philip Stilwell sends shock waves through the Alibi Club...for there's much more to Stilwell's untimely end than a sex game gone wrong. His murder and the desperate attempt to keep a deadly weapon out of German hands will bring together the strands of a twisted plot of betrayal, passion, and espionage-one connected to the Alibi Club...and to the most explosive secret of the war.
As the Nazis march on Paris and the crisis escalates, four remarkable characters are swept into the maelstrom. Their courage will change the course of history.
Epic and yet intimate, a seamless blend of fact and fiction based on a little-known episode of the war, The Alibi Club is a thriller of fierce and complex suspense by a writer whose own life in the spy world makes espionage come uniquely alive.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author mines territory that Alan Furst has used for his novels: pre-World War II espionage centered France's defeat and what that implies for French physicists speculating on atomic research. Real life characters mix with fictional ones, and there are many bad guys. The author's language is intelligent and compelling, and her plotting complex and believable. She conveys a sense of place beautifully, and also the cynical quality of her characters. One quibble is that the book could use some tightening; it's a bit long and repetitive. Also the two most heroic characters lack a credible backstory. But fun and informative to read.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was terrible. Paris 1940. So there are a few Americans, lots of French and one German. The point of the book is, who's the Nazi spy?Let me say it again, there are a few Americans, lots of French and ONE GERMAN.Duh.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5too many characters made it more confusing than prior books by this author. also required looking up many historical and other facts. though doing this type of was helpful it took much time. it helped also that I was familiar with the many french words. I skipped some of the repetition in the book but finished it and still understood the plot.
