![]() Though the novel starts off in the present time, it shuffles back and forth between the portentous events that took place eleven years ago and till the present day. All chapters are written in the first person, by the person the chapter is named after. The novel is broken down into chapters named after some of the prime characters in the novel – Meredith – Delilah‘s mother and the second woman to go missing, Meredith and her husband Josh’s neighbor Kate, and Delilah’s brother Leo. This is about two women from the same locality going missing within days of each other, the second one with her six-year-old daughter, Delilah. There is a feeling of menace that hangs in the air, of something dark and forbidding, which threatens to engulf the reader into its darkness. This is that kind of an engrossing story, drawing you so deep into the story that you actually start living the life of one of the characters. ![]() This is my first Mary Kubica, and rest assured, it won’t be my last! Fresh out of finishing a taut suspenseful thriller like ‘ Local Woman Missing‘, there is this feeling of emptiness, a feeling of being let down by the lack of something meaningful to do. My Rating – 4 out of 5 Plot Summary – Local Woman Missing
