I am so honored to be able to exclusively reveal the cover for the newest novel by New York Times bestselling author Fiona Barton: LOCAL GONE MISSING, available in the US on June 21, 2022!! LOCAL GONE MISSING follows a detective investigating a man’s disappearance in a small seaside town, a place rife with tension between locals and weekenders. I’ve been reading Fiona’s work ever since the publication of her bestselling debut The Widow years ago—in fact, an advance copy of The Widow was one of the first advance copies I ever received for review here on Crime by the Book! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Fiona in person over the years and have loved reading her carefully-crafted and character-driven crime novels. By the time Fiona’s new crime novel is published in 2022, it will have been three years since her last book released in the US, and I for one cannot wait to dig back into her work this coming year. I’m thrilled to be able to spotlight Fiona’s newest book LOCAL GONE MISSING for CBTB readers today! In today’s blog post, you can check out the book’s atmospheric cover, learn more about its plot, and read a mini Q&A with Fiona to get an early inside scoop on her newest release. Many thanks to Fiona for answering my questions about LOCAL GONE MISSING, and to her publisher for allowing me to reveal her book’s gorgeous cover here on CBTB!
