About this deal

You also get alternating chapters told from the POV of January’s mom, Kristy, from 1994 when the murder occurred. where yup - everyone focuses on the outward appearance of being GOOD, not ACTUALLY being good people (Pfft… who wants that?

But if you’re a Crime Junkie (or mystery fan) who has read the book, you know that Ashley and Brit always have a LOT of questions. All Good People Here has plot elements similar to a completely spectulative and unproven theory about the JBR case, that one or both of JBR’s parents staged the scene to cover up the fact that someone in the family was involved in what happened to JonBenét.

Dave/Luke knew (since 1994) that he was the father of Krissy’s twins, knowledge made even more painful by the fact that he and his wife Rebecca were unable to have biological children. This case took place in the late 80s in the Midwest, and I was not familiar with it, but is a truly horrible and heartbreaking story.

But after what happened to January, WHY did Dave/Luke never say anything about this to Krissy or the police or anyone? All Good People Here, revolves mainly around the character of Margot Davies, who comes back to her hometown of Wakarusa, IN.

I think January’s fall down the stairs would have been seen as a tragic accident, due to sleepwalking or slippery stairs.

Everyone from Wakarusa, Indiana, remembers the case of January Jacobs, who was found dead in a ditch hours after her family awoke to find her gone. I won’t waste time going into the plot, but apparently, writing podcast episodes is very different from writing a novel, because this story never got off the ground.Billy heard a person he thought was his wife Krissy coming up the basement stairs and, furious with her, swung the door to the basement into her, sending her flying down the stairs. One night, she stumbles upon a clue in the most infamous crime in her hometown's history: the unsolved murder of six-year-old January. A stunning thriller set over two timelines, where almost everyone is lying to each other and everyone has secrets. In the book, January’s father Billy, in a fit of rage over discovering that he’s not the biological father of January or her brother, means to harm his wife, but injures his daughter instead. The writing was adequate, but with too much telling, not enough showing, I grew bored and found myself speed reading.

Seriously for starters just say he has dementia or early onset dementia stop referring to it as his condition. Margo just happens to find the place Jace works in all of Chicago, because she remembers he likes art? Since 2011, I have been guiding avid readers toward books they will love and offering a friendly place to discuss them.All of these things are fine, I just feel like it was expected, because these are the topics she pushes in her podcast.
