Book review: Local Girl Missing – Claire Douglas

 *May contain spoilers...


Are you tired of getting to the end of a book and there always being a happy ending?

Well, look no further than Local Girl Missing by Claire Douglas because I can honestly say that when I first read this book, I was delighted with the bold ending!

Whilst there is an uncertainty to the fate of one character, the unexpected events (and mind-blowing twist) help the ending to stick in your mind after reading.

Littered with beautiful descriptions throughout, this has an unusual narrative that alternates between a diary from the past and a present tense narrative that addresses another character. Both viewpoints drive the story forward to the shocking conclusion.

I instantly looked for other stories to read from this author when finishing!





Can you name a story where the ending really delivered?
