I understand the plot-related reasons to keep Luke’s mind muddled. 1) He can’t tell Margot that he was actually January and Jace’s father OR that he told Billy this on the day January died. 2) He can’t tell anyone what he and Krissy discussed the day she died. 3) He can remain a suspect in Krissy’s murder.
Ok, I feel like it is tough to just review the book and not to mention the other bits that come to my mind when reading this, so I will use this opportunity to include that. Especially with an epilogue in past tense, and well, I can’t tell you how the chapter prior to the epilogue ended because that would be giving it away. The book’s progress is extra slow burn after the strong opening. The chapters were a little dragging. Because of the interesting topic I kept on reading and I was about to round up 3.5 stars to 4 but that abrupt, weird ending which force us fill the blanks to write our own ending was semi satisfying for me! Unfortunately I cut the half star and I decided to give three solid, it’s not very good but it’s still okay read stars!I received a free digital eARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review Threads, Twists, and Layers
Speaking of the end, it’s the only part of the book I didn’t love, as there were loose ends I didn’t feel were tied up (and I love when everything is tied up neatly!). This wasn’t enough to keep me from loving the book, though. Luke (Dave) Davies: Margot’s uncle. He is his fifties, a widower suffering from early onset dementia. Biological father of January and Jase Jacobs. The hallmark of a good thriller for me is this: how much can the author give away to allow us to guess along and still be surprised, yet make it all line up? The dual timeline definitely helps here as we are always thinking about January’s case from two perspectives, gathering different insights from both the past and present. Ultimately, this made for a really interesting reading experience. Krissy then decides to tell Dave that he is the twins’ father. After that meeting, she writes Jase a letter saying, “I learned something about your father. He isn’t who you think he is.”I don’t have an easy answer. Perhaps it depends on which characters we are rooting for – and, if we are satisfied with the outcome. Spoiler Discussion for All Good People Here Here are my major questions about All Good People Here:
Krissy’s secret lover Jodie wrote all the warning notes and messages. In 2009, after Krissy confided in Jodie that she had been the one to stage January’s death as a murder, Krissy says she’s going to tell Dave the truth. But after what happened to January, WHY did Dave/Luke never say anything about this to Krissy or the police or anyone? WHY? Due to his dementia, we will never know. Maybe he told his brother Adam (Margot’s father) leading to his alcoholism. (Just a joke. Sort of.)Billy then intends to kill Margot when he realizes she knows he killed January. What really happened to January Jacobs in All Good People Here? Margot Davies was January’s best friend and 6 at the time of her BFFs disappearance and it shook her to her core. Believing in the real life boogey man her whole life since that fateful night. Twenty years later, and Margot is now all grown up and a hot shot crime journalist. January’s cold case has always haunted her and now in a neighbouring town another little girl goes missing under suspiciously similar circumstances.
