A review by bookstasamm
Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica

5.0

4.5 stars rounded up

When I was asked to review this book by TLC Book Tours I was so excited. I have been wanting to read this since it originally released in May so to be included in the paperback release was amazing!

This book was everything I hoped it would be. From the prologue to set the tone, to Part 1 rooting for Delilah to escape, to the dual timelines with Leo, Meredith, and Lisa’s perspectives of Part 2, I was completely hooked. I didn’t want to put this book down.

There were a few twists which I didn’t see coming which makes a great thriller in my mind. However, there was one twist that brought the story together, but it wasn’t believable in my opinion. It wasn’t that the twist itself wasn’t realistic, but what happened after didn’t seem like how a certain character would have acted from learning about them throughout the story. This is why I’m giving this book 4.5 instead of 5 stars.

Obviously it’s hard to write a review for a thriller without giving spoilers which is why I’m being vague. I will say that overall I really loved this story. It kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next.

Thank you TLC Book Tours and HTP Books for a paperback copy in exchange for my honest review.
