NPR Interviews Mystery Author Ashley Flowers

NPR interviewed Ashley Flowers about her chart-topping podcast Crime Junkie, the other shows she hosts and produces through her media company audiochuck, and her debut novel All Good People Here published in 2022. Ashley discusses how her experience working with families on her podcast influenced the message of her book.

About the motivating forces behind her novel, Flowers said, “And really, what I wanted to get across to you in the book is so much judgment is placed on the family of a violent crime. They should have done this. They’re not acting the right way – that in a time when someone is already traumatized and grieving, we tend to inflict more trauma by making judgments from the outside when, again, we don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors.”
