The Return of Ellie Black by Emiko Jean

Ellie Black is only 17 years old when she goes missing from a party she was attending. Two years later she reappears in the woods. Her parents are overjoyed. Detective Chelsey Calhoun is put on the case but Ellie won't open up to her. Chelsey Calhoun is driven by her sisters disappearance over 20 years ago. Something doesn't sit right with her and she fears that there is a lot that Ellie is holding back

Ellie uncooperative nature only pushes Chelsey to work harder on the case. As more information is revealed the story gets darker and makes readers question Ellie's character. Is she hiding something, traumatized or scared?

The story flows making it a fast read full of complex and well developed characters. I was able to enjoy this in an audiobook fashion (not something I do often) and the audio brings the story to life. Making the story intense, emotional and real. 

The story is told in dual timelines and in single and third person point of views. This is one book that should be made into a movie.
