In a relatively tight-knit, upper middle-class neighborhood, like the one in Local Woman Missing, people know their neighbors. There’s a false sense of safety in the suburbs as opposed to the city. Why do the suburbs make such a scary setting? I started with the character of Delilah and her escape from captivity, not knowing then how or why she found herself living in such horrible conditions.

Mary Kubica’s novels have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold over two million copies worldwide. Her last novel, The Other Mrs., coming soon to Netflix, was a LibraryReads pick for February 2020 and an instant New York Times bestseller. ![]() One critic advised: “If you can’t sleep-in, don’t start reading this at night.” ![]()
