Local Woman Missing
This is a really good book. I could hardly put it down. At first, I'm a little close minded about gay people, I didn't want to keep reading but for the story to unfold, the gay kind of fit the story better. Anyway, get past that and I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did. It is full of surprising moments but it flows and is easy reading. It may be far fetched, but it's still a good read.

Absolutely brilliant.
Spoiler free review.Listened to 70% and read 30%.10 hours of the most intense plot, with so much suspense I’ve read/listened to in a long time. Maybe ever.Local Woman Missing now one of my top books.It is the most gripping read I swear.… From the prologue I was just consumed. Then straight to part one I was like is this the same book.. what is happening I had to go check.This book has a few pov. Which is why I had to go check and the narrows are different. Which was actually amazing because I can’t tell them part. Even with the name heading on each chapter I sometimes get lost but with this book I didn’t once. I thought the formatting and the writing was flawless.Just a brilliant story. Unlike anything I thought it would be.The twists were just shocking.I had so many theories throughout reading and I got them all wrong.I did find myself also not wanting to know because I was enjoying the story so much lol.When a local mother and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, suddenly vanish, their close-knit suburban community is rocked by fear and suspicion. How could such a terrible thing have happened in their small town?*Past and Present

Estropeado / Ruined
El libro ha llegado con pegamento y papel pegado en la parte de atrás, al quitárselo se ha dañado el libro. Horrible.The book came with something sticky on the back and cardboard stack to it, when I wiped it off the paper got damaged. Sincerely disappointed.
