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

Wow I love this Author’s first book but this was even more gripping in a different way. The characters are setting. I can honestly say I didn’t see the way it would end. I’m happy about the way it ended. But that little twist made me smile. There is so much that goes on in this book and I’m not gonna spoil the plot by detailing the return of events. Just say if you loved this Author’s first book you will be even happier reading this one.
The audio never narration of this book was absolutely superb. The narrators played their part brilliantly and brought the story to life. I cannot wait for the next book now.

Amazing book

I’d rate Anatomy of an Alibi 3 out of 5 overall. It starts strong with an intriguing premise but gradually loses focus as more characters appear, making it harder to stay connected. I found myself replaying a few sections to keep track, and the ending felt a bit rushed and unresolved. The narration is superb — a full 5 stars — clear, expressive, and perfectly paced, adding real depth to the listening experience. For the story, 2 stars feels fair: the concept is solid, but the middle loses direction and the conclusion doesn’t quite deliver. An interesting listen overall, though not as gripping as I’d hoped.

Excellent Narration, Uneven Storyline
