About this listen

Twenty years ago she was taken. Now her daughter is next.

Seventeen-year-old Ellie was last seen at a party with her boyfriend, star quarterback Josh, before she went missing…

Twenty years later, Ellie has rebuilt her life. The man who ruined it is behind bars. He can't hurt her now. But as Ellie leaves her therapy group, a face she hasn't seen in decades appears before her. Josh, her high school boyfriend, is back in town.

As they reconnect after years apart, trying to make sense of their shared trauma, a few streets away, Ellie's seventeen-year-old daughter Jess vanishes.

Is history is repeating itself? Ellie is about to discover the shocking truth about the night she was taken but can she unearth long-buried secrets to save her daughter?

The Girl in the Basement is a heart-pounding psychological thriller that will keep you up listening late into the night. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, Gone Girl and Shari Lapena.

Slow burn

You think you're getting a kidnapping story, but it takes forever for the actual kidnapping part to come into play. this is a slow burn. I'm glad I chose to listen to it, or I'd still be reading it. After the story progressed I did accurately guess at who the kidnapper was. Elle was not portrayed as an ordinary teenage girl with a boy friend, she actually thought about consequences and what might happen if her boyfriend was the killer, most teenage girls are going to run off to do what ever they want, and think they know it all, and all is perfect, so I found it unbelievable in that respect. The high school back story was very slow for me, I'm not big on romance books, and definitely not teen romances, I signed up for a thriller. To me there just wasn't enough thriller in it.

Gripping story skillfully read

I couldn't stop listening and thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns. The narrator did an exquisite job telling the story.
