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.
