“All Good People Here” features a woman who returns to her hometown as a young adult to care for her ailing uncle. When she was 6 years old, her best friend was found dead in a ditch. Shortly after returning to the town, another young girl has gone missing. Is it connected? The woman was an investigative reporter before coming back to town, so she starts digging into the new story and tries to connect it to the murder of her childhood friend.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down. There were several unexpected twists and many interesting characters. I also liked that it was told from the perspective of the woman in present day, and also from the mother of the dead friend at the time that was unraveling. (Although I think the book needed one more chapter and the end to tie up a few more things.)
Three words that describe this book: haunting – secrets – page-turner
You might want to pick this book up if: You like true crime podcasts (this is fiction, but has the same vibes).
