Two women. One dead husband. And only one alibi...
Camille Bayliss suspects her husband Ben hides a dark secret. But as he tracks her every move, she cannot prove it.
Aubrey Price believes lawyer Ben Bayliss knows the truth about the night that wrecked her life a decade ago. But she needs a way in.
When Camille and Aubrey meet, they hatch a plan.
For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille's place. Ben will track the wrong woman, Camille can spy on Ben, and both women will get their answers.
Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered.
Two women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone...

Editorial Review
Secrets, lies, and the perfect alibi
On the heels of
First Lie Wins, Ashley Elston has delivered again with
Anatomy of an Alibi. I was drawn into the lives of Camille and Aubrey and the building tension around their 12-hour identity swap. Camille's desperation to escape her controlling husband felt so claustrophobic, and Aubrey's need for answers about her past gave the story raw emotion. The narration brought distinct voices to each character, and I could feel the paranoia and secrets building with every chapter. You think you know where it's going, but then Camille's husband ends up dead, and suddenly you're wondering which woman actually has the alibi and what really happened that night. —Dawn G., Audible Editor
I requested Anatomy of an Alibi because I'd heard such good things about First Lie Wins, but it never made it to the top of my TBR pile.
Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. But that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price. And when Camille Bayliss' husband Ben is murdered, the two women are forever entangled. One has an Alibi, but the other does not. But what they both have is a motive.
So I worked out one of the major twists, but I didn't see the second major twist coming, right up until it smacked me over the head.
This is a strong thumbs-up!
Body count = 3 (in the current timeline, there are at least the same number in the second timeline, and as always, I don't know if I should count them all together?)
Thank you, Hachette Australia & New Zealand, and Netgalley, for this eARC. Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston is out soon (the 20th of January). If you like twisty thrillers with multiple POV's and timelines, then you'll like this one. Ashley's first book, First Lie Wins, is moving up my TBR right now, obviously.
