Thrillers & Suspense
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. 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? Read more
