Two Can Keep a Secret Hardcover – January 8, 2019

I was searching for a book for one of my 17 yr olds and the excerpt caught my eye. I haven't read for years even though i was an avid reader, life just happens sometimes. This book, while it is targeted as YA is a good read for all. I read the entire book in two days, I was so enticed I stayed up late to finish it.My daughter, who also happens to not only be a fraternal twin, already had something in common with the main character, Ellery. She's not just a twin, she and her brother both prefer girls. This is great as it gave her an immediate connection to the characters and finally, an actual book sans the animation.She also enjoyed the book and it's nice to have something not related to video games and TV shows that at my age I just don't see the fascination with that I can talk about with her.We will definitely be reading more books by this author.

Karen kept me hooked from the very first chapter. She knows how to hold you in suspense and keep you guessing on who the killer is. Just when I thought I knew, a curve ball was thrown! Read it, it won't disappoint!

i really enjoyed this book; it was an interesting read, full of twists and turns, and kept me wanting to read wayyyy past my bedtime!

“There’s not easy way of knowing, which direction we are going….”Remember that crazy boat ride in Willy Wonka? Things were spinning and there were strange images popping up. As you looked at each one, you were wondering where were we going with it all and what a ride! That is this book. I loved it!Ellery and Ezra arrive at a hometown that they have never known. Their actress mother grew up there. She was homecoming queen and in this town, that is not a good town. She is in a drug rehab and they are going to live with their grandmother. A murder of the homecoming queen years earlier seems to be repeating itself when weird images and things start popping up around town, warning that it could happen again. Ellery is somewhat of a murder nut and she starts to put clues together. This also includes clues about her own mother’s twin sister who disappeared years ago, the night of homecoming. After a weird exchange with a fellow student, Brooke, she goes missing. Cue the dah dah daaahhhhh music.Ellery becomes friends with Malcolm. who’s brother was thought to be the killer of the dead homecoming queen and Mia, whose sister was best friends with said homecoming queen. Such a delicious tangled web!I had no idea where this wonderful ride was going to end up. It could have been in the horribly named Murder Land. I mean, really, would you go to a theme park named Murder Land? They do rename it to Fright Farm but being the wuss I am, still a big no. Whodunit? Whydunit? You will not be disappointed and you will tear through the pages of this book.If you have not yet read Karen’s book One of Us is Lying, pick it up, you slacker! You will not be disappointed in either of these books. In fact, you will thank me. You are welcome.

What I liked about the book is it was kinda fast paced and had me glued to the pages

I thought was was perfect for my 13 year old granddaughter. There was no inappropriate descriptions and yet the mystery was very good! She’s a good author.

**SPOILERS** Do not read my review if you have not read this book!I honestly enjoyed reading this book (i was hooked and read it completely the first day I got it) but ultimately I felt let down by the lack of explanation on many subjects throughout the book. Like why was Sadie targeted? Just because they went on a few dates and didnt click? How did he meet Lacey? When did Brooke and he start a relationship? How long did it last? Who exactly was the twins father...we were giving flimsy details about him and a name but his character had as much depth as the stuntman who Sadie said may have been the father. It would have been way more interesting if he was one of the characters in the book that we could have gotten to know. The last line in the book sent a shiver down my neck but once again WHY?! And why such long time spans b/t disappearances/murders? A lot of it just didnt feel resolved...I finished that book wanting more explanation. Where was Sarah? None of it seemed to mingle together well. I felt like the killer revealed was out of left field...and when he did reveal himself it was so out of no where. Pretty sure he could have talked his way out of being a suspect if Mal and Ellery accused him but instead decided to go completely crazy after keeping it cool and charming for 20 years?

I enjoyed this author’s previous books so I was excited to find this one. I’m in my late 20d but still enjoy teen reads. Would recommend.

Good read

Me gusta cuando hacen que los libros tengan dos perspectivas y luego estas se conectan, un buen libro de misterio y un gran plot twist

I love the twist in this novel.. a mist read for a mirder mystery fan 🫶

Da leggere ,con twist finale !! Pensavo sarebbe stato un libro per TEEN ma è perfetto anche per young adults🙃
