Bell’s Recommendation
All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers
Coming from a small town is unique. You know everyone. That is also a tricky thing in that everyone knows you, and very little is private. Margot is from just such a small town, Wakarusa, Indiana. She left to become a big-time crime journalist, which kinda happened, kinda didn’t. Unfortunately, her Uncle who had to raise her is suffering from Alzheimer’s, which means he needs constant attention. Margot has to return home. As it turns out a crime has taken place and she is locked in to find the culprit. Oddly it mirrors a murder that took place when she was six years old. Her bestie was killed in a murder/suicide or so we thought. This is a strange thriller with loads of sketchy characters.
