The follow up YA thriller from the author of the international bestseller One of Us is Lying.
A perfect town is hiding secrets. Secrets that somebody would kill to keep hidden.
Ellery's never been to Echo Ridge, but she's heard all about it.
It's where her aunt went missing at age sixteen, never to return. Where a Homecoming Queen's murder five years ago made national news.
And now she has to live there with her estranged grandmother, after her mother lands in rehab.
Malcolm grew up in the shadow of the Homecoming Queen's death.
His older brother was the prime suspect and left Echo Ridge in disgrace.
But now he's back- just as mysterious threats appear around town, hinting that a killer will strike again.
Then another girl disappears.
As Ellery and Malcolm race to unravel what happened, they realise every secret has layers in Echo Ridge.
the story was about Corcoran twins Ellery and Ezra move with their grandmother and end up immersed in a mystery that goes back to the time their mother was at high school. missing girls, murdered teenagers and secrets galore will keep you wondering whether the small town of Echo Ridge is as idyllic as it seems. the novel is very entertaining and although I figured out who was to blame before it was revealed, there were surprises in the plot that made it worth reading.
Two Can Keep a Secret was a really nice murder mystery that was entertaining and not all too heavy to read. Sure, the topic of missing girls and dead homecoming queens is a tough one by nature, the balance between serious subjects and enjoyable moments was nicely done though.
Two Can keep a Secret had a good narrative. I was interested in the characters and their fate. I was sure the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the two young women was related yet I can honestly say that I didn't guess who the culprit was until the very end.
