book review: local woman missing by mary kubica

Mary Kubica’s Local Woman Missing promises a thrilling narrative with its tale of abduction and suspense, but it falls short in several areas. While the premise is intriguing—centering on the disappearance of a local woman and the impact on her family and community—the execution feels lackluster.

The pacing is uneven, with some parts dragging on while others, especially the ending, rush through key developments. The plot twists, while numerous, can feel forced and detract from the overall sense of suspense. Additionally, the resolution feels unsatisfying, leaving the reader frustrated and annoyed, with the climax lacking the impact one would hope for.

Overall, while Local Woman Missing has moments of intrigue, it fails to deliver a compelling and cohesive story, making it a less satisfying read than anticipated.
