Review Quotes
"[A] daringly plotted, emotionally eviscerating psychological thriller." --Publishers Weekly "Impossible-to-see-it-coming.... [Kubica] takes readers to a whole new level of deceit and irony." --Booklist "[Local Woman Missing] will appeal to fans of Lisa Jackson and Gregg Olsen.... The twists, turns, and an unpredictable ending make it irresistible." --Library Journal "I'm shamelessly addicted to Mary Kubica's juicy, unpredictable reads, as much for her well-rounded, fully human, flawed characters as her sizzling plots--and she just keeps getting better. LOCAL WOMAN MISSING is a propulsive journey through a winding maze of secrets, leading to a jaw-dropping twist that I never saw coming. Loved every minute." --Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Never Have I Ever "Dark and twisty, with all the white-knuckle tension and jaw-dropping surprises readers have come to expect from Mary Kubica." --Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Home Before Dark "Complex, richly atmospheric and thoroughly riveting, Local Woman Missing is a thoughtful look at how even the most innocuous secrets between happy couples and beloved friends in tightly knit neighborhoods can sometimes turn so unexpectedly and terrifyingly deadly." --Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia and A Good Marriage

Slow Burn
This book was a slow burn, and I found myself struggling to stay engaged. While I didn’t see the plot twist coming, the pacing felt too drawn out, making it hard to stay invested in the story. The buildup took longer than necessary, and by the time the twist was revealed, it didn’t feel as impactful as it could have. I appreciate the effort put into the suspense, but I just wish it had gotten to the point sooner.

This is the first book I have read from this author, and I instantly started looking for more after finishing. I’m not a fast reader but I read this book in two days. The ending was such a surprise!

You Don't see it coming
I was COMPLETELY off from what I thought happened. This book was so well written. It handles jumping from perspective to perspective in the perfect way with out making it confusing. Until the moment I find out what actually happened to Meredith, and the police had to badger to open a door, I had no idea what happened to Delilah. I almost want a second book, one directly off of this book, that goes through the life and struggle of how the two girls adjust back to their home life, one that also goes into the disappearance of Carly and the life Delilah lived whole in hiding.

Amazing!!!
This is the best book ever! I finished it in a couple of hours, I couldn’t put it down! The author really grabs all of your attention and there’s so many twists and turns throughout the book. If you like a good mystery book that makes it hard to put down, this is for you!

Pick another book........
Part One of the book was excruciating to get through. I felt like it was poorly written, and in retrospect, the book could have been written without that portion of the storyline. It wasn’t hard to figure out who the murder was. The author made it abundantly clear by the overwhelmingly positive comments about this character. Overall, this book was extremely far fetched and left us without some answers. For instance, are Sam and Marty the same person? The end of this book felt rushed. The authors took us down so many dead ends throughout the book and left many details unresolved throughout the book and then finished the book like their worlds were suddenly perfect. I think some of the side stories should have been left out and more time should have been spent on the ending I wouldn’t recommend this book. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I read it. If you are looking for a book recommendation, read The Last Thing He Told Me. It’s a much better read.
