About this deal

Yeah, that’s what we have here. Keep in mind I read an ARC but a friend who read the published copy confirmed the writing. A few examples:

The one person who may have all the answers is the daughter Delilah as she reappears eleven years later. Where has she been? Can she answer the question of what happened to her and her mother? But I wish the author found a better solution to fix this unique puzzle because the story line was strong. The one person who may have all the answers is the daughter Delilah, suddenly reappearing eleven years later. So where has she been all this time? Can she, will she, answer the looming question regarding what happened to she and her mother? A woman goes missing one night while out jogging in a small town. Then shortly another lady and her child go missing as well.In this thrilling and carefully plotted domestic mystery, this community and these families must unravel the secrets of the chilling events from many years ago … A few weeks later Meredith, a doula, yoga instructor, mother of two beautiful children: Delilah (6) and Leo (3) happily married with Josh, vanishes into thin air along with her daughter Delilah.

Thank you to Park Row for inviting me to participate in the blog tour for this book, and providing me a widget through NetGalley. The novel will be published on: 5/18/21. Final score. If you’re looking for a thriller that you’ll want to read in one sitting, you could do much worse. And if you’re looking for Local Woman Missing, you can find the audiobook on the Hoopla library app. ;) There are some triggers here if you have problems with child abuse of any kind and some gruesome murders, this might not be for you. The mystery itself was well-written and engaging. Mary Kubica includes an abundance of red herrings to keep readers on their toes. While the ultimate reveal itself was a bit underwhelming, reading how everything unfolded was incredibly gripping.it wasn't so much that this was unbelievable (which it kind of was), it was that there was no lead up to the events. on the one hand i don't want to be bored and predict everything but on the other hand i want to be impressed by how clever an author's plotting is. this didn't really feel clever to me. Second in the military crime series featuring Special Agents Scott Brodie and Magnolia "Maggie" Taylor, after The Deserter (2019). Local Woman Missing starts with a good hook that creates tension and suspense and increases with each chapter. I was fully invested in the story and had many questions I needed the answers to. I flew through it quite fast.

Prologue. A woman knows her husband is cheating on her, but that’s a-okay because she’s cheating on him too. She goes out for “a run” to meet her current side piece, and the chapter ends abruptly as something comes at her. What could it be?! Let's move on to... Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Local Woman Missing opens with a girl, Delilah, who disappeared 11 years ago finally being found again. With her return, it reopens questions about what happened the day she and her mother went missing and another woman, Shelby Tebow, who had disappeared soon before that.The audiobook for Local Woman Missing is uneven, but serviceable. I liked the narrators for Delilah and Kate, though I found the ones for Meredith and Leo to be a bit overwrought. The theme of motherhood is woven deep within this story. I thought the author did a phenomenal job portraying the struggles and successes of the women within this story. Very well developed characters overall! Cork family's plea for support as dad fights for life in hospital and autistic son left in agony at CUH

Local Woman Missing is about two missing women who went missing from an affluent neighborhood 11 years ago. In the present, a teenage girl who has escaped from captivity has a startling connection to the missing women. I was still expecting more satisfying wrapping up. Anyways my butt is so numb! It was my longest and most restless one sit reading! I still recommend to the genre lovers and author’s loyal fans like me! My sincerest appreciation to Mary Kubica, Park Row, and Edelweiss+ for the Advance Review Copy. All opinions included herein are my own.If the story sounds like your standard thriller fare, it’s because it is. Local Woman Missing does nothing new. Warning that there are some deeply disturbing scenes involving children, especially at the start. Though the scenario is extremely upsetting and creepy, it was written in such a way that I simply couldn’t put it down. I was completely consumed by this book. See the Full Review and Summary of Local Woman Missing from The Bibliofile. What format will it be? Will the Local Woman Missing adaptation be a Movie or a Series? If you are looking for a twisty ride that will keep you guessing, look no more. The latest thriller by Mary Kubica had me reading way past my bedtime. Told through multiple POVs, we learn about a missing woman and a missing mother and daughter. From perspectives, both past and present, suspects are introduced and motives are revealed. The book is fast paced and suspenseful with a constant underlying feeling of foreboding and dread. The ending seemed slightly rushed and a little implausible, but I still enjoyed the read. There is a trigger warning of child abuse. I would also recommend that all mothers to be wait to read this after delivery.
