Karin Slaughter hands us Officer Emmy Clifton — flawed, fierce, and carrying enough guilt to sink a cruise ship — and drops her into a Fourth of July gone horribly wrong.

We Are All Guilty Here by Karin Slaughter Summary Spoilers
Welcome to North Falls — a little town where everyone knows everyone… or at least thinks they do. Truth is, the place is stuffed to the rafters with secrets, grudges, and just enough scandal to fuel ten seasons of a Netflix drama.
Officer Emmy Clifton is just trying to survive life — a shaky marriage, a young son, and a badge that comes with way more problems than perks.
But on one Fourth of July, her world implodes when two teenage girls — Miranda (her best friend’s stepdaughter) and Cheyanne — vanish during the fireworks celebration. One of the last people to see Miranda alive? Emmy. No pressure, right?
“If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.”
A suspect is caught, everyone nods, and the case is closed… or so they think. Fast-forward twelve years. The “killer” walks free after new evidence surfaces, and before the town can even gossip about it properly, another teenage girl, Paisley Walker, disappears in a hauntingly similar way.
Cue Emmy’s instinct and a sense of guilt she never really buried. Did she and her police-chief father get it wrong all those years ago? And if so, who’s been playing with them?
Enter Jude — a retired FBI investigator who’s famous for finding missing kids… and for making up trouble just by breathing. Is she here to help? Or is she another secret North Falls doesn’t want dragged into the light?
As Emmy digs deeper, friendships fray, family bonds strain, and every neighbor starts looking like a suspect. Unfolding, in North Falls, no one’s truly innocent — they’re just better at hiding their skeletons.
By the end, you’ll be asking yourself the same thing Emmy does: if everyone’s guilty of something… how do you figure out who’s guilty of this?
