Two Can Keep a Secret

Two Can Keep a Secret, the gripping follow-up YA thriller from Karen M. McManus, author of the international bestseller One of Us is Lying, plunges readers into the seemingly idyllic town of Echo Ridge. Beneath its perfect facade, however, lurks a web of sinister secrets, the kind that someone would kill to keep buried.

Ellery has never set foot in Echo Ridge, but the town's dark history has always loomed over her. Her aunt disappeared from there at the age of sixteen, never to be found. More recently, a Homecoming Queen's murder grabbed national headlines. Now, due to her mother's stint in rehab, Ellery is forced to move in with her estranged grandmother in Echo Ridge.

Malcolm has lived in the shadow of the Homecoming Queen's unsolved murder. His older brother, once the chief suspect, fled the town in disgrace. Just as Malcolm begins to feel the weight of those old suspicions again, threatening messages surface around town, ominously suggesting that the killer is poised to strike once more. Then, without warning, another girl goes missing, sending chills through the community.

As Ellery and Malcolm join forces to untangle the mysteries that bind them both to Echo Ridge, they discover that every secret has many layers, each more dangerous than the last. In a town where everyone is hiding something, uncovering the truth could be deadly.
