This month’s book club read was “The Return of Ellie Black” by Emiko Jean
This is my first read by this author and her debut thriller. She is a New York Times bestselling author, and her books have been published in over 30 languages.
The Return of Ellie Black, while well-written with a strong storyline, is darker and more intense than I prefer to read.
Ellie Black has been missing for two years, and she suddenly reappears in Washington State.
For Detective Chelsey Calhoun, any missing person case is personal. Her sister, Lydia, went missing when they were just teens.
Chelsey senses that something isn’t right with Ellie-her answers to where she has been and who she is protecting.
Told in multiple points of view, this psychological thriller is gripping and heartbreaking.
Warning: There are graphic, disturbing scenes, kidnapping, and sexual abuse.
