Resumen del Editor

A USA TODAY Bestseller

“The Return of Ellie Black is a page-turning suspense novel, a shrewd character study, and a captivating mystery, all at the same time. The last fifty pages are magnetic. I couldn’t put it down until I’d experienced every last twist and turn.” —STEPHEN KING

Detective Chelsey Calhoun’s life is turned upside down when she gets the call Ellie Black, a girl who disappeared years earlier, has resurfaced in the woods of Washington state—but Ellie’s reappearance leaves Chelsey with more questions than answers.

It’s been twenty years since Detective Chelsey Calhoun’s sister vanished when they were teenagers, and ever since she’s been searching: for signs, for closure, for other missing girls. But happy endings are rare in Chelsey’s line of work.

Then a glimmer: local teenager Ellie Black, who disappeared without a trace two years earlier, has been found alive in the woods of Washington State.

But something is not right with Ellie. She won’t say where she’s been, or who she’s protecting, and it’s up to Chelsey to find the answers. She needs to get to the bottom of what happened to Ellie: for herself, and for the memory of her sister, but mostly for the next girl who could be taken—and who, unlike Ellie, might never return.

The debut thriller from New York Times bestselling author Emiko Jean, The Return of Ellie Black is both a feminist tour de force about the embers of hope that burn in the aftermath of tragedy and a twisty thriller that will shock and surprise you right up until the final seconds.

Loved the narration

Gripping story with fantastic narration! Really enjoyed this book and that each character had their own narrator.

New Suspense queen

Rarely does a writer leaving there usual genre go so well. I was shocked to find out this was written by Emiko Jean I love the Tokyo everafter series so wanted to give this chance.

If you like twisty suspense and thriller books you won’t be disappointed in this one. I hope we get whole series from this because it was truly excellent.

Monotone narration

The main narrator voice was too monotone. The story was good but her voice was difficult to listen to.

A Solid Debut Novel

✨ᴍʏ ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡ:
Ellie Black has returned out of the woods in Washington after being missing for 2 years. Detective Chelsey Calhoun is on the case. Detective Calhoun also had her sister missing about 20 years ago when they were teenagers. The more Chelsey talks with Ellie about where she’s been the last 2 years the more things unravel.

I think this was a solid debut novel. I loved the different POV’s and how it all came together at the end. Some of it was anti-climactic but I enjoyed it a lot.

Story good, narration dull

Good story. Keeps you interested. But the narration almost makes you give up. Give us some damn inflection so characters dont seem so flat and uninteresting!

Great story overall!

Narrator’s did a good job but were flat at time. Still held my attention. Loved the story but would have like more details in the resolution at the end.

Page turner !

I heard about this book through Book Tok ! It was such a great book and I did not want it to end!

Amazing

Dont walk, run and get this book. It was absolutely enthralling and I don’t often write reviews at all.

wow just wow

I am blown away by this book. it captivated me from chapter one all the way to the end. the characters are so well developed and the story line is so so so good!

Why isn’t this a movie already?

Right from the beginning it had me. The twist and turns left me wanting more. This should be made into a movie!
