Local Girl Missing

Adrian, Yvonne and Merriel are in shock when their co-worker, Deborah goes missing. Naturally everyone at work begins to wonder what happened to her. Did she leave on her own? Was she taken? Is she still alive? Was she taken by a killer? Who could be behind her disappearance? Everyone is afraid, except for one person – the one who knows the answers to all the questions!

This book is told through various POV’s. One is Deborah’s and readers learn what is happening to her. She is being held by a psychopath. Will she survive? What is going to happen to her? She is alone initially but soon she is joined by another captive.

This book grabbed my attention from the beginning and then began to slow down. I am not a big fan of slowness in books, thankfully, the speed picked up again as the character’s pasts are revealed. As the book goes back and forth from the past to the present, Deborah’s plight becomes more dangerous. The tension begins to mount.

I always enjoy trying to figure out whodunit. The author provides readers with many suspects as the characters were not that likeable and they all have secrets.

For me this was an enjoyable read that had me doing my own detective work. The slowness hindered my enjoyment to a degree. Having said that, I would happily read this author again as the parts in this book which were gripping were very nicely done.
