The Girl in the Basement by Eoin Dempsey, Eoin Dempsey
3.0
haven’t read a thriller in awhile, so jumping into this one was so great! a shorter read - less than 300 pages. it was definitely an attention grabber and a page turner that I finished in one day!
told from the past and present, ellie fell for the new kid at school who was suspected his ex-girlfriend’s death. getting to know him meant getting to know his family too. and ellie definitely had some weird feelings about his parents. after being abducted and locked in a basement, all the clues point to her boyfriend’s father. but fast forward a few years and ellie has a daughter. and at just about the age that ellie was, her daughter was also abducted. but who did it? it couldn’t be her teenage boyfriend’s father - he’s been locked up in prison for years.
a story of history repeating itself, buried family secrets, and teenage love.
