Conflicted feeling; the writing was atmospheric and the plot/ pace was well done, my only gripe was not caring much about the characters this was happening to, I predict this was due to there being quite a few characters stories told simultaneously so I could never quite get a grip on just one. But for the pacing and plot this worked very well.

Local Woman Missing is a bit of a cluttered mess. With patience comes a gripping finale that’s hindered only by the drawn out plot building that precedes it.
