Local Woman Missing: A Novel of Domestic Suspense

Product Information

Ik I am late, lots of good things have already been said about this book. I on other hand am a bit disappointed.

For the latest news and in-depth coverage make sure to always think of us with the biggest stories first. She finally escapes and the police think that she may be the missing girl, Delilah. BUT NOT SO FAST!! , there are questions about whether she really is Delilah or not. Her brother Leo can’t decide if she is his missing sister or not, it has been 11 years and he still remembers her as his 6 year old big sister.But I wish the author found a better solution to fix this unique puzzle because the story line was strong. This book is told through changing timelines and surprisingly it works and is easy to follow. The timeline switched to eleven years prior when the women go missing to present day. There are four points of views. One is Delilah, who has been held captive for eleven years and her subsequent escape. Then there is, Leo (Delilah's brother,) Meredith (Delilah's mother) and Kate (a neighbour of Delilah's.) The first 80% was decent but a little boring. I wasn’t fully enthralled, but I was interested in knowing what was really going on. It was a solid 4-star read, and then I got to the twists. With each twist, my star rating went down. The story did fall short towards the end. The reveal and resolution just don't go well with the feel of the rest of the story. It seems so different compared to all that leads up to the end of the book. I did leave the story wanting to stay with some of the characters, I cared about them, despite somewhat clunky parts of the book. This was a very enjoyable read and it's going to say with me for a long time.

but all in all, easily recommendable to readers who want a slow-burn story about family lies, neighbourly suspicions, and secrets hidden in plain sight. The one person who may have all the answers is the daughter Delilah, suddenly reappearing eleven years later. So where has she been all this time? Can she, will she, answer the looming question regarding what happened to she and her mother? Maureen is described as being 5' 6" in height and of a slim build with grey hair.
