Anatomy of an Alibi (AUTHOR: Ashley Elston)
🌟 Anatomy of an Alibi
Two women with desperate secrets strike a dangerous bargain — one will impersonate the other for twelve hours to uncover the truth about a manipulative lawyer. But when he turns up dead the next morning, both women find themselves scrambling to stay one step ahead of suspicion.
Set against a Louisiana backdrop, this tightly wound thriller weaves together lies, hidden pasts, and shifting identities. With only one airtight alibi between them, Aubrey and Camille must decide how far they will go to protect themselves and each other.
Two women. One dead husband. And only one alibi.— Ashley Elston
Anatomy of an Alibi is a razor-sharp thriller about identity, trust, and desperation. When a planned twelve-hour switch spirals into murder, two women must navigate a web of secrets before the truth destroys them both.
A clever, twisty thriller built on a brilliant premise: two women, one alibi, one dead husband. Elston keeps the tension tight and the pacing sharp. The dual-perspective structure works beautifully, though seasoned thriller readers may guess some turns early.
