The Second Captive by Maggie James
3.0
Told from multiple perspectives, The Second Captive portrays one family's journey as they come to grips with the daughter suffering from Stockholm Syndrome after having been held captive in a basement for two years. You hear the daughter's and the mother's points of view as well as the kidnapper's.
It is a fairly well written story that moves along at a nice pace and keeps you turning the pages, but it wasn't as thrilling, deep or dark as I had hoped for. I was waiting for some surprising twists and turns but the story line was just pretty standard and culminated in a rather neat ending. An OK read but nothing outstanding.
Thanks to the author and her publicist for my copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
