The Return of Ellie Black by Emiko Jean

4.75

Chelsey Calhoun is still traumatized by the death of her sister and brings the feeling of needing to compensate for that to every case she investigates. When a missing girl returns, Chelsey is first in line to determine what happened and find the person responsible for it. Little did she know how warped and twisted this case, and the others it is linked to will become. Multiple points of view and two timelines helped the reader converge on the present in a soooooo very close to unbelievable, but ultimately WHAT????, ending. And a few of the characters seemed a bit too good to be true but still fell just on the side of believable. I'd bring up plot points that I related to from several true crime stories to hook you in, but feel that might give too much away and ruin the story for other readers. Just keep turning the pages and enjoy!

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.
