Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston Pre-Order Jan 13th 2026

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ashley Elston comes Anatomy of an Alibi, a gripping, twist-filled thriller where deception, murder, and secrets collide. Perfect for fans of Megan Miranda, Riley Sager, and high-stakes suspense.

Everyone at Chantilly’s Bar noticed Camille Bayliss—the perfect out-of-towner with red lips, designer heels, and a Negroni in hand. But that woman wasn’t Camille at all—it was Aubrey Price, stepping into a life that isn’t hers.

Camille’s life seems flawless: married to high-powered lawyer Ben and the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. But beneath the surface, Camille suspects her husband has dark secrets—and she can’t gather proof without help. Aubrey, haunted by a traumatic night a decade ago, knows Benjamin Bayliss may hold the key to her past.

Together, the women hatch a daring plan: Aubrey will impersonate Camille for twelve hours while Camille spies on her husband. But when Ben is found murdered the next morning, the two must scramble for an airtight alibi—though only one of them truly has it. In this tense thriller, one misstep could destroy them both.
