As usual I went with the mystery/crime fiction. Both set in the Pacific Northwest. They sound fabulous. #BOTM

Anytime a mystery keeps me guessing &invested in finding the truth, I‘m hooked. Jean wrote a story filled w/suspense whose storytelling leaves you wanting more @ the end of each chapter.
Ellie‘s been missing for yrs when she suddenly reappears. Chelsey, the original detective, takes the reins in hopes of finding who took Ellie. But the more Chelsey presses Ellie, the more Ellie disengages, &Chelsey can‘t help but wonder what Ellie is hiding.
5/7
When Ellie black came back after being missing for two years she shocked everyone and wouldn‘t tell anyone where she was.
In alternating chapters we follow Ellie as she relives her capture and Chelsea as she reopens the case.
Intense, has disturbing scenes, and some jaw-dropping surprises.
It is a thriller that will keep you reading and one you won‘t want to put down.

What I liked? Femme-centered! But also a bit-rape centered but given the subject matter thats the territory.
What didn‘t work me—main character Chelsey outclassed as a detective—younger than she should. Ellie—more mature than likely to be at 19.
I personally saw it coming but then again I‘m a power-reader—I can tell given what‘s be said & what‘s not where your “twist” is.
Frankly I‘m over the “big twist” ubiquitous trope in thrillers.
