It’s Not Her: A Twisty Thriller about Two Families and a Chilling Lake Resort Crime from the Author of Local Woman Missing

Any fan of suspense will find themselves unable to put this book down. Mary Kubica’s It’s Not Her tells the story of two families who vacation together. Courtney, her husband Elliot, and their daughter Cass are in one cabin. Courtney’s brother Nolan, his wife (and Courtney’s best friend) Emily, and their children, Reese, Mae, and Wyatt, are in another cabin. When Emily and Nolan are found bludgeoned to death, Courtney goes on a mission to find out what happened. The worst part? Reese is missing. Readers will go nuts over the twists and turns this book throws. The ending is a good one—one that I didn’t guess. Mary Kubica does a fantastic job of developing her characters and then inserting them into a situation that no one would wish to be in. If you’re a fan of stories that take place where the cell service is spotty (or non-existent), and the locals are creepy, then this is the book for you. I loved every page of this fast-paced thriller.
