Reply to comment by Writteninsanity in [WP] A bar called “The Alibi” that’s notorious for being just that.. an alibi. Often packed with ex-cons, the customers of The Alibi adhere to a silent, but strict, code: If they say they were here, we saw them. They’ll always back an alibi, no questions asked. by JelloStaplerr

This is really good! I loved the little world building details--the scarred bar top, the phone "ringing off the hook" (clever!) in the detective's pocket--and the characterization was top-notch; just a thumbnail sketch but also so much more.

It made me say the 4 words that mean the story is a good story...

"and then what happened?"
