The Cellar by Minette Walters

4.0

A dark little tale of psychological suspense from a master of the genre, Minette Walters. A young girl is kept as a slave by the Songoli family. Muna is kept indoors at all times, not allowed to learn English, and is locked in the basement at night. But when one of their sons disappears and the police are called, the Songolis must treat the girl as a member of the family. As the family's troubles multiply, Muna's situation improves and soon the Songolis learn that the girl is far more clever than they imagined. This audiobook is narrated in a very matter-of-fact way that quietly but effectively conveys the horror of events as they unfold.
