All Good People Here: A Novel

A journalist returns to her hometown of Wakarusa, Indiana, to care for her uncle after his diagnosis with early-onset dementia. Margot Davies was six years old when her neighbor January Jacobs was murdered twenty years ago—a case that remains unsolved. The killer has never been brought to justice, and Margot has long felt haunted by the proximity of the crime. When five-year-old Natalie Clark goes missing from a nearby town under circumstances similar to January's disappearance, Margot becomes determined to solve both cases. As she investigates, she discovers that the police, Natalie's family, and townspeople all seem to be withholding information. The deeper she digs into Natalie's disappearance, the more resistance she encounters, and January's case grows colder. Margot must uncover what her neighbors are hiding and determine whether January's killer is still at large—and whether the same person took Natalie.
