“All Good People Here” is Ashley Flowers’ debut novel and a good one. Set in a small town, following dual timelines, a journalist digging into a cold case that has been haunting her since it happened. All elements I love in a thriller.
The heart of the book is the case of January Jacobs, a case that the family and the town could never let go. And the same goes for Margot. She has left her town, but when she returns, everything feels exactly the same. And the murder of January starts to become a part of her life again. And this time, Margot wants to find out what really happened and who did this to January.
The case is very reminiscent of the real-life case of JonBenét Ramsey, from 1996, which is still unsolved. If this case intrugues you, “All Good People Here” might be a good read for you.
The book has many reveals and some plot twist, most of them very surprising and unpredictable. And I really loved that ending. What a great debut for Ashley Flowers.
