Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica
5.0
I could NOT put this book down. I love a good thriller and Local Woman Missing is no exception to that.
11 years ago, a woman goes missing from an ideal Chicago suburb while on a late night run and within days another woman and her 6 year old daughter go missing, shaking the neighborhood to the core. After 11 years, the daughter (Delilah) miraculously resurfaces, which causes newfound interest in the case and opens another handful of questions about what happened. The story shifts timelines and switches between the POV of Meredith, one of the women who goes missing, Leo (her son), and one of their neighbors, Kate.
I found it interesting and creative how the author weaved all their stories together because it left me guessing at every corner. I loved how we got to witness the main adults become so worn down by the burden of Meredith and Delilah’s disappearances and how all of that trauma and grief settles in the way that Leo recounted his POV.
Like I said, I inhaled every bit of this book. I was addicted to getting all of the answers. I’m not a quick reader by any means so the fact that I read this in less than 2 days should be telling of how good and mysterious this book was. Highly recommend!
