Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M. McManus
5.0

Wow.

I went into this with pretty high expectations after reading "one of us is lying" and it didn't disappoint!
From the offset Karen M.McManus did a fantastic job of creating a tense, creepy atmosphere drawing the reader into a town with a dark history and everyone had secrets. I love feeling like everyone had a tiny, inconsequential piece of the story but not enough to paint a large enough picture of what actually happened/what was going on. I loved the twins, and Malcolm and Mia. All the characters were interesting and all the way through the book I found myself questioning everyone's stories and motives, and in the end, I had no idea "whodunnit". A brilliant mystery set against the background of a sleepy town with a Halloween theme park where the original murder took place, all culminating in a chilling climax. What's not to love. Highly anticipating any and all futher books from McManus!!
