I do not think it is far-fetched to assume that, taking into account who the author, Ashley Flowers is. If she’d simply come to Wakarusa and focused on helping her uncle instead of chasing answers to the twenty-five-year-old murder case, maybe she wouldn’t be here right now, on the wrong side of Luke’s gun.
A journalist comes home to care for her beloved uncle who is suffering from early onset dementia and encounters memories of her childhood. this is for lovers of true crime, the JonBenet Ramsey case, quick thrillers and multiple red herrings. But people here turned on the Jacobs family a long time ago for what happened to January and I think once some time passes, folks will find their way back to that. Thanks to Kat (in comments) for pointing out another possible True Crime inspiration: April Tinsley.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. Very disappointed in this one, not sure I'd be willing to give Ashley Flowers another chance after this. She is closer to the story than ever and she is determined to find out what really happened to January no matter the cost.
Episode SummaryOn March 24th, 2012, Molly Young rushed to her on-again, off-again boyfriend Richie Minton's aid, only to be found dead hours later in his Carbondale, Illinois apartment with a gunshot wound to the head. Another bug bear for me in this novel was the sheer amount of times that Margot felt guilty over leaving her uncle with his condition.If you are familiar with the most debated true crime cases, a staged crime scene by a parent to cover up the death a child isn’t that out-there. I have a lot of respect for the author’s accomplishments and success, and it gives me no pleasure to hand out a 2-star review. The January Jones case is awfully similar to the Jon Benet Ramsey case in so many ways that even the super fans were disappointed by it. Whenever Margot does this, it is an echo of how that initial fear in the aftermath of January’s death continues to affect her.
Margot thinks that there is no way January could have been holding onto the blanket during all the events that led to her death.I couldn’t agree with you more, I was counting on Jodi or Luke in a moment of lucidity to come in and save Margot. Jumping back and forth between relevant moments in the past helped peel back the many layers of this book bit by bit.
Episode SummaryIn May 2021, Crime Junkie covered the 1981 murder of Father Patrick Ryan and the subsequent conviction of James Reyos. The unsolved murder of the main characters childhood neighbor in 1994 and the disappearance of another little girl two decades later.
I understand him not saying anything in all the chaos of January’s death, but fifteen years later, when Krissy decides to come clean, he already knows. She also hosts several audiochuck shows, including top-rated podcast Crime Junkie, The Deck, Red Ball, and Full Body Chills. The initial article she submits is more of an Anniversary story about January than it is an investigative piece about Natalie. And where I could forgive all of that and still say this was a halfway decent first book attempt, what
