Camille Bayliss is one of the protagonists of Anatomy of an Alibi. She is of medium height with light brown hair. Camille was born in Corbeau, Louisiana, to her parents Randall and Marie Everett. Randall rules Corbeau, as the Everett family gained wealth and influence by selling illegal alcohol during the Prohibition era and helped establish the small town.

Camille marries her high school sweetheart, Ben Bayliss, after he graduates from law school. Though the Everetts initially opposed Camille and Ben’s relationship, they later approve of Ben and even push Camille to stay with him. Camille lacks a profession of her own, but she runs an Instagram account where she posts about food and old restaurants. Camille feels a lack of agency in her life, and she can tell something is wrong in her marriage, but she struggles to identify it. Camille searches relentlessly for evidence of Ben’s wrongdoing to invalidate the prenuptial agreement that financially punishes her for leaving the marriage, and when she finds it, she makes a plan to leave with Aubrey’s help. Camille and Aubrey feel a great divide between them, which stems primarily from their socioeconomic differences, but they inspire each other to take the necessary actions to better their lives.
