Publisher's Summary

New York Times Best Seller

"Dark and twisty, with white-knuckle tension and jaw-dropping surprises." (Riley Sager, New York Times best-selling author of Home Before Dark)

In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense Mary Kubica takes domestic secrets to a whole new level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

People don't just disappear without a trace....

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....

Mary Kubica is a new favourite

This is the second book by Mary Kubica that I have listened to on Audible and I have enjoyed them both. Local Woman Missing is a very well-crafted story. The plot development as told by a variety of characters ties together well and is not at all confusing. The story line is unexpected and new. I wd recommend this book highly

Would rather have read the hard copy

I really enjoyed the story but the narration of Meredith’s character irked me throughout the book. Her narrator over-acted and has too much emotion in every line. She sounds like she’s about to cry or start laughing when she’s just talking about an everyday occurrence. I think I would’ve enjoyed the book more if I’d read the actual book rather than listening. The other narrators were all fine.

Some Parts Felt Pointless.

Overall a good read, however there are large portions of the book that seemed unnecessary at it's conclusion. I felt like storyline had an original direction, that veered off about halfway through.

The best I’ve listened to in a long time

This was such a great listen that I was genuinely upset when it ended. Everything came together perfectly, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was listening, and once I started I couldn’t stop. Super thrilling, excellent narration. I don’t have enough good things to say about this book. Will be checking out more from this author.

If you’re debating getting this, stop and just get it!

Wow! Leaves you on the edge of your seat, that’s for sure

A great story! I loved how everything panned out at the end. Definitely wasn’t expecting it. Delilah’s reader annoyed me lol Thankful that there was only the one chapter. I thought something was wrong with my speakers.
