Welcome to North Falls. A small town where everyone knows everyone. But nobody knows the truth.

Emmy Clifton thinks she knows her neighbours. She's wrong.

She thinks it’s just another hot summer night like any other. She's wrong.

When her best friend's daughter asks for help, she thinks it’s just some teenage drama. She’s never been more wrong in her life.

As the town ignites in the wake of the girl's disappearance, Emmy throws herself into the search. But then she realises: You never really know a town until you know its secrets.

Editorial Review

Small town, big secrets

Karin Slaughter is one of those authors I always turn to when I want a story that completely pulls me in. We Are All Guilty Here focuses on a small Southern town in the United States where a violent crime sends shockwaves through a community full of secrets. I’m intrigued that this isn’t just a whodunit, but more of a “what did we all do?” I’ve got a feeling it will leave us questioning everything—and talking about it long after. Expect a slow-burn suspense that packs a serious emotional punch. If you loved Pieces of Her or Pretty Girls, this one should already be in your wish list. —Dawn G., Audible Editor

It's the first time I've listen to a book from this author and I must say WOW what a ride.
Storyline gripping and made me cry a few times , my heart beat fast and a little angry. The characters were so believable. The good guys were multi layered but likeable ... the baddies made your skin crawl . The twists and turns blew my mind. I will be ordering another book soon. The only criticism would be the ending was a bit abrupt but I suppose that's giving us scope for another book . If so cannot wait. I can't sing this books praise enough. I know why shes in the No1 slot as a writer ... the narrator was fantastic at being the characters and story to life. I really cannot praise this book enough one of the best books I've listen to in ages
