Editorial Review by BookViral: "A welcome throwback to the days of intriguing murder mysteries that didn't rely on sex and violence to disguise thinly veiled plots, Missing Alibi proves a welcome sequel to A. K. Lakelett's Remember Me. A timely and classic blend of suspense laced with one twist after another it's one of those rare offerings that actually encourages the reader to solve the crime. Dense with plot intricacies, thick with atmosphere, and packed with a well-nuanced ensemble of characters it's hard to be innovative in such a popular genre but as with Remember Me, Lakelett does just that. On this level, she delivers a taught narrative that elevates the Faukon Abbey Mysteries to the next level whilst typically strong character development sees Greene, Ford and Carter continue to develop as both eclectic and endearing protagonists. Missing Alibi continues to build on an original theme and one that would transition well to other mediums. It is highly recommended."
