Why read it?

2 authors picked Local Woman Missing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The story was weaved through multiple points of view, illustrating that what one thinks is happening may not be what is actually happening. There was a good deal of misdirection which kept me reading.

I love all of Mary Kubica’s books because of her straightforward writing style and the Chicago-area settings. In Local Woman Missing, a peaceful, suburban neighborhood transforms into a harrowing place where people go missing and we question how well we really know our neighbors. Told from multiple points of view and timelines, the twists abound as the reader uncovers what happened to the missing women and girl. The ending was chilling, and I didn’t see it coming, which is exactly what I want from a psychological thriller.
