Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston, 352 pages
Camille's life looks pretty sweet from the outside, but behind closed doors, she's pretty sure her wealthy and powerful attorney husband Ben is hiding some pretty dirty secrets, though he also keeps pretty close tabs on her, so she doesn't know how to find out for sure. Aubrey's life was rocked a decade ago when her parents were killed by a drunk driver, and has recently come to suspect that Ben knows something about it. As both of them seek answers, Aubrey pretends to be Camille so that Camille can spy on Ben, and they can finally get to the bottom of things. Unfortunately for them both, Ben turns up dead during that same period, adding to their questions and casting them both as suspects in Ben's murder.
Told with alternating points of view and timelines, this twisty thriller keeps the reader guessing, slowly revealing more and more layers of deception and criminal activity. I can honestly say that I had no idea how this book would shake out, though when all the cards were on the table, they made sense. That's not always an easy thing in this sort of book, but I think Elston manages it well.
