Two Can Keep A Secret by Karen M. McManus

After her amazing debut, One of Us Is Lying, I was really looking forward to the next book by Karen M. McManus, Two Can Keep A Secret.  It did not disappoint!  McManus is a master storyteller and knows how to keep an audience on the edge of their seats.  This murder mystery is another fantastic tale full of twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing who is responsible for the crimes that have happened.  This is a true page turner!

In her second novel we meet Ellery and Ezra, twins who are moving to Echo Ridge, the mysterious hometown that their mother has never spoken much about.  This beautiful town has a dark past.  When she was just 17, Ellery and Ezra's aunt went missing, never again being seen.  Just five years ago, Lacy, the beautiful homecoming queen was brutally murdered.  Now, new messages are showing up around town, hinting that it is going to happen again.  And when another girl disappears, everyone is a suspect.  This story will have you playing detective, trying to decide who you can trust and who you can't.  

From Amazon:

"When it comes to YA suspense, Karen M. McManus is in a league of her own. Fresh off her best-selling breakout One of Us Is Lying . . . the author has returned with a juicy second novel. It's even better than what came before." --EW

The New York Times bestselling "must-read YA thriller" (Bustle) from the author of One of Us Is Lying!


Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery's never been there, but she's heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows.

The town is picture-perfect, but it's hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone has declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing.

Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too. And the longer she's in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something. The thing is, secrets are dangerous--and most people aren't good at keeping them. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it's safest to keep your secrets to yourself.
