My Review: 4 stars
Right from the start, Local Woman Missing had me on the edge of the seat. A woman goes missing after a late night run leaving behind her newborn baby… we think it’s the husband. Then a mother and her daughter go missing. Are they related? Is there a serial killer on the loose?
The story was told by multiple narrators and switches from the past to the present, which sets a fast and tension-filled book. I liked that each character brought a unique perspective and elicited different emotions. This constantly kept me guessing as I learned new information from the various characters.
I really enjoyed Kubica’s writing and story, however the end seemed like too much of a stretch. One of the big plot twists totally surprised me, but the other one seemed too outlandish for me to believe, even though it’s what brought the story together. This often happens in thrillers, so I don’t let it sway me from the overall enjoyment factor. This one will definitely keep you guessing.

Is Marty Shelby’s baby daddy?
I don’t know and it’s bugging me! I went to look on other reviews to see if someone else knew and I guess it’s up to the reader to decide.
