Many thanks to NetGalley, Viking/Penguin | Pamela Dorman Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Ashley Elston, author of the wonderful smash debut First Lie Wins. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Camille Bayliss and Aubrey Price couldn't be more different. Camille is married to hotshot lawyer, Ben, and daughter of a wealthy and influential Louisiana family. Aubrey is a bartender, living in a house with criminals, and trying to come to terms with losing her parents in a terrible crash years ago. But the two women work together to switch places for a night so that Camille can spy on her husband. Hopefully they'll both get the answers they need. Except the next morning, Ben is found dead and both women need an alibi.
Wow - I loved how this book was written, from different POVs and timelines, broken down by before and after the alibi. The author skillfully takes us back in time to learn how these women really are connected. The story is full of secrets, power, greed, corruption, family loyalty, and you will be in for such a ride following along. There are plenty of suspects for a multitude of crimes, people in jail that maybe shouldn't be, and twists and turns galore. The last sentence completely blew my mind! Ashley Elston can apparently do no wrong, so get this book in your hands as soon as possible!
