Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica

 My Rating: 4.0


Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold. Now, 11 years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they’ll find....



While Kubica tells a good story, I felt that she was trying too hard to divert the reader. There were too many characters, too much implausibility and too many red herrings. It wasn't bad but, just ended up being a 'typical thriller' without anything special to make it stand out. I did enjoy it on the audio book to hear each of the characters different voice.

  1. Thanks for your review. I enjoy Kubica’s books as long as I go in knowing that her books not always plausible. I may listen to it when doing chores around the house.
