“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.

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.

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.

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.
