Book Synopsis

#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?

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Didn’t expect the ending

    This story is fascinating and interesting but there are so many twists and turns I couldn’t keep up sometimes. But when I did, I was shocked! I’m glad I finished this and will be on the lookout for more books by Ashley Taylor!

    The plot, while interesting, took awhile to spark my interest as the characters needed to be fleshed out a bit more. Once I was invested in the characters it flowed more smoothly. The abrupt ending totally disarmed me. I expect to be entertained and have the heroine of the story triumph over whatever difficult odds are placed in front of her. This book had no closure and no forgiveness. I am left wondering what happened to the main character, to her uncle, and to her story. It has totally put me off this author.

    The book had a good plot, but it took way too long to get to it.
  • So disappointing

    I really enjoyed the beginning of the book, I’m a loyal Crime Junkie listener, but towards the end, I don’t know how any author would leave the main character’s story so abruptly. There was too many loose ends and questions. You can’t categorize the ending as a cliffhanger, it was just awful.
  • Thank you Ashley!!!

    I am a fan of crime junkie and originally picked up this book out of solidarity to Ashley & Brit. It was an amazing read, so many twists and unexpected turns. Impossible to put down, and did not see the ending coming. Definitely worth the read!!
