π² βLocal Woman Missingβ by Mary Kubica
π² A thrilling and carefully plotted domestic mystery in which the secrets of the chilling events from many years ago must be unraveled.
π² Summary:
Local Woman Missing opens with a girl, Delilah, who disappeared 11 years ago finally being found again. Her return reopens questions about what happened the day she and her mother went missing and another woman, Shelby Tebow, who had disappeared soon before that.
π² Review:
The story gives us several timelines and they aren't in any specific order. We go from present to various past dates while changing points of views of Delilah, Leo, Meredith, and Kate. The narrators are resentful, unreliable, hurt, scared and confused.
The alternating timelines - one in which you get to know the actual incidents that took place years ago and the other in which you get a distorted version of the truth which everyone knows - breaks your chain of thought which prevents you from guessing the culprit. The atmosphere is often terrifying and I felt the fears of the characters, caught in situations that were inescapable. This book was so chilling and foreboding. I was transfixed by what was happening and devoured the book almost in one day!
