When two women switch identities for a day, they think they are giving each other cover as they try to learn what role the one’s husband played in the death of the other’s parents.  But when the husband turns up dead the following morning, their original plan is thrown for the loop.  With the help of a friendly lawyer and a criminal enforcer, both women try to protect their own interests while staying a step ahead of the police, who may know more than they are letting on.

Anatomy of an Alibi is the second adult novel from Ashley Elston. While I did enjoy this, I did find myself a little confused when the twist came up at the end as I didn’t remember which character’s name showed up as the ultimate antagonist.  Hopefully we will see more from Elston going forward.
