Review: When local woman Meredith and her six-year-old daughter Delilah go missing, their community is rocked by fear and suspicion. 
Eleven year later, Delilah returns. Everyone wants to know what really happened to her. But there are secrets hidden in the past, that nobody is prepared for. 
“Local Woman Missing” is a thriller full of tension and mystery. The story jumps in time and between character’s perspectives. We learn how, eleven years before, doula Meredith helps pregnant Shelby Tebow, who, not longer after delivering her baby, disappears when jogging. Later Meredith and her daughter go missing themselves. 
The story starts of amazing, with the story of an abducted child. When she is reunited with her family, everyone starts thinking about her mother Meredith who went missing and was never found. Another case is that of Shelby Tebow, whose body is found and Meredith and Shelby have connection, since they knew each other. 
As the story develops, you realize that nothing is as easy as it seems. There are several red herrings, which make you suspect the wrong person. It’s a very easy to follow story and a real page turner. 
The ending was a bit far-fetched, which is the only reason I didn’t give the book a five star rating. But overall, “Local Woman Missing” is a book that will be hard to put away once you start reading it.
 
Rating: 4,5/ 5
