Description
Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. Flirted a little with a local but returned alone to her bed-and-breakfast before midnight in her sleek car.
But that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price.
Aubrey 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 perfect way in.
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 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.
It can be murder to walk in another woman's shoes...

... So ein Alibi kann helfen...
... aber es ist nicht so, was man denken würde, wenn man das Wort Alibi hört. .. Ihr Mann wird tatsächlich ermordet und es gibt zwei Zeitstränge und zwei zunächst vermutlich nicht zusammen hängende Situationen und Morde... aber alles kommt am Ende zusammen und dann haut es die Plottwists nur so raus... Mir waren es nur zu viele Namen bzw. Personen in dem Buch, so dass ich öfter als mir lieb war innehalten musste, um zu überlegen, wer das nun wieder war. .. aber es war spannend und das ist das Wichtigste an einem Thriller. 3,5 🌟
Anatomy of a great Murder Mystery!!
Ashely Elston’s mystery debut “First Lie Wins“ was perfectly aligned with my reading taste, so I was incredibly excited for “Anatomy of an Alibi“. The first third was quite overwhelming: there were so many characters, POVs and time jumps. But paying close attention was absolutely worth it! If you stick with it, you’re rewarded with a twisty, suspenseful and plot-driven murder mystery. The audiobook is read by a full cast, which made it much easier to distinguish between the different narrators (while you still have to pay close attention to the timeline at the beginning of each chapter 😉) It couldn’t quite beat “First Lie Wins”, but it was still a fun and satisfying read.
