Alibis collection

By: Freida McFadden

Narrated by: Lauryn Allman

With all hope of an appeal fading away, the fate of a condemned murderess takes a shocking turn in a breathtaking short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid.

Talia Kemper is on death row for murdering her husband. She had an alibi and no known motive, yet Talia’s unwavering protestations of innocence have always been ignored. Then one day in the visiting area, she sees a recognizable stranger she’s certain is her husband. It turns out the man she’s been convicted of killing may not be dead after all. But as the days tick away toward Talia’s execution, what will it take for her to be believed?

Freida McFadden’s Death Row is part of Alibis, a collection of stories about lies, truth, and deception. It’s just a matter of what you can get away with. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

Great narrator

Confused about the ending. There were 3 different scenarios and I'm not sure which one, if any, is true. I don't understand the ending at all. A total waste of time!

Ending

Excellent book except too short. Would not have purchased if known didn’t get more books. Looked like series

Waste of my money.

I’m so disappointed in this short book. When it started it was done and I was lost!

Well, I didn’t understand the end….what it all a dream?

Wait!! What happened? Was it all a dream? She didn’t kill her husband, she dreamed that she did, and dreamed that she was in a car accident and wasn’t?

5+ stars

This is typical Freida. It grabs you from the first sentence and keeps the interest going til the end. Great quick listen.
