Publisher Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In the propulsive debut novel from the host of the #1 true crime podcast Crime Junkie, a journalist uncovers her hometown’s dark secrets when she becomes obsessed with the unsolved murder of her childhood neighbor—and the disappearance of another girl twenty years later.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugar

 
You can’t ever know for sure what happens behind closed doors.

Everyone from Wakarusa, Indiana, remembers the infamous case of January Jacobs, who was discovered in a ditch hours after her family awoke to find her gone. Margot Davies was six at the time, the same age as January—and they were next-door neighbors. In the twenty years since, Margot has grown up, moved away, and become a big-city journalist. But she’s always been haunted by the feeling that it could’ve been her. And the worst part is, January’s killer has never been brought to justice.

When Margot returns home to help care for her uncle after he is diagnosed with early-onset dementia, she feels like she’s walked into a time capsule. Wakarusa is exactly how she remembers—genial, stifled, secretive. Then news breaks about five-year-old Natalie Clark from the next town over, who’s gone missing under circumstances eerily similar to January’s. With all the old feelings rushing back, Margot vows to find Natalie and to solve January’s murder once and for all.

But the police, Natalie’s family, the townspeople—they all seem to be hiding something. And the deeper Margot digs into Natalie’s disappearance, the more resistance she encounters, and the colder January’s case feels. Could January’s killer still be out there? Is it the same person who took Natalie? And what will it cost to finally discover what truly happened that night twenty years ago?

Twisty, chilling, and intense, All Good People Here is a searing tale that asks: What are your neighbors capable of when they think no one is watching?

Good debut novel

A good debut novel from Flowers. She has all the resources at her fingers being a true crime podcaster, and definitely used them. A few similarities to famous cases, but she made it her own with twists and turns throughout. Enjoyable read with good imagery and descriptions. Looking forward to her writing.

Glitches

The beginning of the book was glitching in my Books app.
After getting through that, the story is good but it’s a slow read. The “cliffhanger” ending was unexpected and unfulfilling. I’m left wanting more, but in a disappointed that I didn’t get to finish the story kind of way.

A good quick read

I wanted to love this and went in with high hopes. While it was enjoyable to read, had a good reading pace, and was well organized, the plot was very predictable, characters lacked substance, and the ending felt like a cop-out.
