Local Girl Missing

 


Local Girl Missing by J A Baker - psychological thriller

A young woman, Deborah, has gone missing. Her colleagues at work saw her leave but she never arrived home. Alternate chapters give us Deborah's distressing situation and surprise when there is another woman brought to her who looks almost identical. This is the story of them trying to figure out how to escape but who has brought them there and why as well as the story of the people around them.

OMG. In parts this is quite a harrowing read as Deborah has been treated very cruelly and is in appalling conditions. The offices where Deborah worked give a very interesting psychological insight to those around her and give the reader a chance to try and work things out. At times I found this a little hard going due to lack of dialogue, but understood the need for descriptive text due to the circumstances.

A dark, rather chilling story cleverly put together- I thought I had the perpetrator and was wrong. One not to read on your own in a dark room!
