There’s something so compelling about it, especially in the thriller genre. It reminded me a bit of how someone would word things in their head, as opposed to if they were telling the story to someone. Kubica has a very simple sentence structure that I know drives some people up the wall. “When people do dumb shit like this, they always wind up dead.”įirst of all, the writing. He stares at her too long, his expression unclear. I decided to check out her latest work, which was Local Woman Missing. And for some reason, Mary Kubica was first to my mind.

But a few weeks ago I was in a mood for a good kind-of-domestic thriller. And looking forward to checking out some other books by this author.īut, as it often happens to me, it’s been a couple of years and I didn’t get around to it until just recently. (Not so much the twist, but more in terms of the consequences).Īll in all, I came out of that experience pretty happy with what I got. Still, I remember loving the writing, the plot was great and the payoff was pretty spectacular. Probably because it had one trope I really hate. The first one, The Good Girl – I liked it, but honestly, it wasn’t my favorite thriller ever. Local Woman Missing is the second Mary Kubica’s book I’ve read. I don’t think it’ll ever be a spear, but it’s mangled enough that it’s got a chiseled point and could stun someone, if not kill. Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica – My Review And prompts everyone to question – one more time – what happen to these women 11 years ago. It does, however, stir up some old ghosts. But her return doesn’t enlighten the whole thing as much as everyone hoped it would.

And for 11 years no one knew what happened to Delilah. The investigation brought answers that only asked more questions. First Shelby Tebow, soon after Meredith Dickey and her daughter, Delilah. On a quiet street in a peaceful community, three people had gone missing. To some people, their secrets are more important than other people’s lives. We hadn’t known Shelby, but it was all over Facebook and then, later in the day, in the paper and on the news: Local Woman Missing.
