At first I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy the book... It took me a couple weeks to finish it. Normally when I enjoy a book I devour it... It's not until the last third of the book that I couldn't put it down. I 100% did not see where it was going to end and when I did.. wow! Definitely worth the read... I love when I can't figure out the book before I finish.... I do wonder if I missed a couple red herrings because I wasn't 100% invested in it and for a long time I couldnt understand why one of the narrators was even apart of it and the. You get to a certain chapter and you just .. can't wrap your mind around it! I say give it a shot. I see mixed reviews all the time but I'm glad I finished it.

“He stares at her too long, his expression unclear. "When people do dumb shit like this, they always wind up dead."”

Mary Kubica knows how to write a thriller! This is the second work I’ve read from this author and I loved it just as much as the first. I absolutely love her writing style; it keeps you guessing until the very end, and this one is no exception.

Local Woman Missing takes place in a small town where three people actually go missing within a few days of one another. It’s told in both a present day timeline and a past timeline (which was 11 years prior/when the people actually go missing). For the first few chapters I was feeling a little confused between the different timeline and perspective changes, but once I got my bearings it was easy and fun to follow along. I had a few theories along the way, but the final reveal was not something I contemplated. I really loved the way the characters were written and felt very immersed into the story. I wish a few of the storylines wrapped up a little better, but overall left feeling satisfied and will absolutely pick up more works by this author.
