All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers
4.0
This was a twisting and turning mystery that was clearly pulled from a case I followed through my life of the JonBenet Ramsey murder, which I immediately caught on to. Though it may have started that way, this becomes wholly it’s own thing and I really, really enjoyed it.
Told in dual narrative and dual timelines, we follow Margot as an adult chasing a case of the murder of her childhood best friend, January, and Chrissy, January’s mother from the time of the murder of her daughter.
Margot was a dog with a bone when it came to January’s murder, clearly seeing a connection to another murder that has happened now all these years later. I enjoyed her tenacity. While some of the story did seem a little convoluted, as a whole, I found it to really keep me on the edge of my seat. There were things I could see coming and there were things that totally threw me for a loop.
This was a great mystery/thriller I would recommend for anyone who enjoys small town murder, cold cases, and stories where we follow an investigative journalist.
