Audio Book Summary

#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?

    Absolutely loved the storyline until the end, hated the ending. I would have liked some closure.

    My only complaint is in the beginning the case felt reminiscent of the Jon Benet Ramsey case. Dancer vs beauty queen, twin vs brother. Those sort of things. It felt to safe. However, as the book and characters developed I was pleasantly surprised with how captivating it became. I hope Ashley continues to write more novels. She definitely has a gift.

    Did not like the ending at all. The uncle could have saved her or the police friend could have saved her. Jodie could have saved her!! I felt like the book just stopped before it ended. Enjoyed it until then.

    Love the book but that ending left me hollow. Another couple chapters would have been nice. The fact that it was left so open makes me wonder what the authors ultimate goal was. To me, this book is unfinished so I will only give it 3stars.

    I thought it was a good read but did not like the ending. After going through the whole book you are left without knowing what happened.

    I went into this book with high expectations because I love all of Ashley Flowers’ podcasts. It honestly just let me down. I really hated the narration, like I get it would have been too much work to include a male voice actor, but at times it was so distracting. To be fair, I don’t think fiction is for me, because of my crime junkie mind I wanted to see which each character looked like. If she were to make another book, I’d probably read it, but I definitely would go in with lower expectations

    Every time you think you have it figured out (right along with Margo), the plot takes a turn. Such a great story, Ashley wrote!

    The story line references Jon Bennett, Ashley did an excellent job keeping my attention with all of the details and well thought out story telling. At the beginning of the book I couldn’t connect with Margo, half way through I really came to like her character so I’m a little confused on the ending.. I’m hoping there’s a sequel or some type of explanation to what happens to Margo. Thanks Ashley for the awesome ending, your voice reading the epilogue was the best part. Can’t wait to see where you take us crime junkies next!
