Publisher's Summary

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?

What the critics say

“Ashley Flowers has a knack for writing twisty plots and believable characters. All Good People Here is a stunning debut from a fresh new voice in the thriller space.”—Karin Slaughter

All Good People Here has enough twists and layers for three novels. Ashley Flowers has taken a premise familiar to true-crime fans and created a story that’s compelling and psychologically rich, with an ending that’s as unnerving as it is satisfying.”—Lou Berney

“While some aspects of the fictional plot may remind true crime aficionados of real cases, the twist at the end is wholly original.”Good Housekeeping

Stumbled across this book in search for something new. Not a huge crime book lover, but do enjoy them every now and then. Overall great listen, but was not happy with the ending! Love Brittany Pressley as a narrator.

Captivating Easy Listening

Great story and characters.
The narrator voices are a little funny sometimes but it doesn't distract from the story too much.

Fantastic story

Loved this book it kept me guessing the whole way through. I loved the way it all came together. That being said. Hated the ending. I listened to it, and when it went into the epilogue I was like nooooooo way its ending like this.
But a good pass time for sure!

It was ok

So many twists and turns, so many real-world parallels in the storyline, it won't disappoint in that regard. These two narrators sounded too similar to each other, and frankly the valley girl style of narrator is getting old, the genre is dripping with them.

Just the right amount of twists and turns.

Was lovely, heartbreaking, and bittersweet. I found myself making confident guesses in the outcome of the book and each time I found the hole in my own guesses as I continued. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
