Alibi Archive, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Evelyn "Evie" Thorne is the keeper of the Archive, a clandestine basement vault where the wealthy buy alibis and the truth is whatever shape you pour it into. She's built a life on other people's fictions, and she's good at it—until a frightened socialite walks through her door asking for an alibi for a night that hasn't happened yet. When Rose Gallagher, a young secretary who knew too much, is pulled dead from the Hudson, Evie's carefully constructed world begins to crack. Rose left behind a diary, a coded trail of clues, and a heartbroken roommate named Lena Diaz who refuses to let her death be forgotten. Together, Evie and Lena are drawn into a labyrinth of false identities, crooked lawyers, and a conspiracy that reaches from the docks of the Hudson to the highest corridors of Washington. As the August heat suffocates the city, the two women must unravel three intersecting alibis to expose a weapons smuggling ring—and the murderer hiding at its center. But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous the lies become. And in a world where loving the wrong person is a secret in itself, Evie and Lena discover that the most terrifying truth might be the one they're hiding from each other. A meticulously plotted Jazz Age mystery with a slow-burn sapphic romance, The Alibi Archive is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Sarah Waters, and Nita Prose.
