Anatomy of an Alibi

A Novel

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FIRST LIE WINS

Two women. One dead husband. And only one alibi.

“Elston expertly unravels a web of secrets and lies. You won’t be able to put this excellent thriller down until the final shocking page.” —Megan Miranda

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.

Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she’s married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can’t find proof because he tracks her every move.

Aubrey Price has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she’s convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there’s more than one way to get to the truth—and she may have found the best way in.

Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille’s place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek.

Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both 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.

Oh. My. Word.

This is such a great book. I have left a total of 2 reviews my whole life on Audible and this is the 2nd. Narration, story line, pacing, all of it is just amazing. 5/5.

Great story

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this story or performance! It had me from the beginning and kept me intrigued until the end. I really like this author and have been waiting for a new story and she did not disappoint

Confusing audible listen

I found there were too many peripheral characters to keep straight so the story made me lose interest as it was kind of a confusing listen. I might have enjoyed it more reading the physical book. Narration was good though.

Another winner from Elston

I enjoy Ashley Elston whether she’s writing adult or young adult mystery/thrillers. She’s almost always a preorder.

The blurb doesn’t do justice to ANATOMY OF AN ALIBI. This novel is so much more than a dead husband. Involving wealth, class, power, deceit and redemption ANATOMY OF AN ALIBI, at its heart, is the story of one young woman’s continued search for answers about her parents’ deaths in an automobile accident and another family who knows the wrong man may be in jail for life for those deaths.

Camille and Aubrey were sympathetic, multidimensional characters. I hoped both were innocent of the multiple crimes committed in ANATOMY OF AN ALIBI. Their friends and relatives, many with varied degrees of ethics were more ethical. I was surprised and unsurprised with the final culprits.

Easy fun listen

Enjoyed. Narrator was great. Easy to listen. Finished in two days. Liked the characters I Recommend.
