Good mystery/thriller novels include pieces of ideas and events which eventually leads to a holistic idea when connected to each other. Don’t get me wrong, this book doesn’t involve a LOT of killings, but it made me feel like it does. Get the irony? I like how it reminded me of those movies where people just die one by one. The fact that this book feels like a SLASHER kind of movie like Scream, Halloween, and Friday the 13 th even though it doesn’t even contain slashing killings is what I love about this book.

THOUGHTS WHILE READING TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET: Which is why in Echo Ridge, it’s safest to keep your secrets to yourself.

The thing is, secrets are dangerous-and most people aren’t good at keeping them. And the longer she’s in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something.

And before school even begins for Ellery, someone’s declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. The town is picture-perfect, but it’s hiding secrets. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. Ellery’s never been there, but she’s heard all about it. Here’s the book description from Goodreads:Į cho Ridge is a small-town America. The plot is interesting and the fact that I’m into mystery and thriller reads made it more intriguing for me. This book is one of my highly anticipated reads this 2019, which is the reason why I chose to pick this up. The town is full of secrets and mysteries yet to be solved, and now that the twins are back to where it actually started, a new mystery unveils. Ellery’s aunt gone missing at the age of seventeen and 5 years ago a homecoming queen was just killed at Echo Ridge. The plot circles around Ellery with her twin brother Ezra going back to their home-town Echo Ridge to pursue their studies while their mother is on rehab. It’s my first Karen McManus book, I have already heard a lot about her debut novel which is ‘One of Us is Lying’ but decided to start with her second book first. Today we will be taking a dive into Karen McManus’ sophomore book which is ‘Two Can Keep a Secret’. Hello! Welcome back for another blogpost~
