Local Woman Missing

by Mary Kubica

Read in

Listening to this at times was a little challenging. Not only are we following different perspectives, but we are also jumping back and forth between past and present. The book was enjoyable for the most part, though the ending felt rushed and honestly weird. I came away feeling like the author was looking for a way to end the book as quickly as possible and just picked a character to pin it on. Reflecting on the ending while I was driving, I actually started talking to myself about how I think the wrong character was chosen as the antagonist.

Strong shout-out to the narrator; I’m glad I listened to this on audio. As a slower-than-average reader, I think I would have been more irritated by the ending if I had sunk more time into this book than I actually did.
