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...

It's a long time since I read a book with so many twists and turns and I loved it! I found it easy to keep track of what was going on, wanted to keep reading on and on as I was hooked!
Who was working for who? Who is telling the truth? Who is double or even triple crossing someone?
All will be revealed!!

Very enjoyable read. Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for a review.

This book had me hooked from the first chapter—so many secrets, twists, and shady characters to keep track of. Camille and Aubrey’s lives collide in the most intense way, and watching them try to outsmart each other (and everyone else) was wild. The mystery builds like a puzzle you’re desperate to solve, and when the pieces finally click, it’s so satisfying. Definitely one of those thrillers that messes with your head in the best way.

What a roller coaster, I was hooked from the beginning of this gripping drama There are so many twists and turns through the book that it was impossible to predict the final outcome. I would thoroughly recommend this.

What a book, iv heard alot of this author but for me this is my first read of theirs and what a corker, this book is the definition of thriller, two women and a man dead. Lots of tension and Suspense and I was going back and forth with the pages to try and figure this mystery out lol. Once I'd completed the book I had to laugh at myself for missing it. And that's what I love most in a thriller thinking you'd guessed it but being wrong. Once this book has been officially released I will be buying this and gifting to my thriller addict friend because it's perfect for her.
