Shelby Tebow goes out for a run and never returns home. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen. The community is left reeling and on high-alert. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold.
Now, eleven years after she disappears, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they’ll find…
With short, punchy chapters, Local Woman Missing is one of Kubica's finest works. Told from multiple perspectives in shifting timelines, this gripping narrative absolutely explodes on the page.
The story opens with a young girl being held captive in a basement and what transpires is her harrowing escape—this incredible hook sets the table for the rest of the story. With a tight cast of characters that are not always reliable, Kubica manipulates her reader like a magician.
Perfectly plotted, visceral, and palpable, Local Woman Missing takes domestic secrets to a whole new level. Some will stop at nothing to hide the truth.
