Park Row Local Woman Missing

Did not finish reading yet. But it’s interesting for now. Will update the rating after

3 🌟🤔 I think I'm an outlier once again but I didn't find it fascinating or mind-blowing at all. It was very slow until the last 10 pages and there aren't plot twists either. I couldn't feel sad or worried about the missing "people" but maybe the only character who I felt some kind of connection was Kate 😬 I don't know, I don't really think is that worthy tbh.

I was completely captivated by “Local Woman Missing: A Novel of Domestic Suspense” from the very first page. The storyline is intricately woven, with each character adding a new layer of suspense and intrigue. The author masterfully builds tension, and the twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. The twist towards the end caught me entirely by surprise, making the late-night reading session until 2 AM well worth it. The characters are well-developed, and their complex relationships add depth to the narrative. The pacing is perfect, gradually escalating the suspense until the explosive climax. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the realistic portrayal of domestic life and the underlying tensions that can exist behind closed doors. It added a chilling layer of authenticity to the story. The writing is crisp and engaging, making it easy to lose track of time while reading. If you’re a fan of domestic thrillers with unexpected twists, “Local Woman Missing” is a must-read. It’s a book that will keep you guessing until the very end. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gripping, well-crafted suspense novel.

Realy interesting novel

Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica is a suspenseful thriller I read in a day and a half! That’s not an easy feat for me as my eyes usually begin to close, and I wake with a book landing on my face. The opening of this novel is everything you want in a thriller; it’s an absolute gripping page-turner where I felt my heart racing as I read page after page. The story primarily focuses on the disappearance of two women and a young child (Delilah) from a quiet suburban neighbourhood—When Delilah is found some 8 years later, the truth of what happened the day she disappeared begins to unfold. The book is cleverly structured, with alternating timelines and points of view that slowly peel back layers of secrets, lies, and hidden motives. Kubica’s writing is atmospheric, and she does a great job of building tension, making you question who can be trusted as the story unravels. The characters are well-drawn, particularly the flawed but relatable main figures, and the psychological depth of the story keeps you invested in their fates. Kubica masterfully plays with themes of trauma, guilt, and the consequences of hidden truths. Highly recommend!
