Two Can Keep a Secret Review
History threatens to be repeated in a small town known for the disappearance of teenage girls.
When his mother is suddenly sent to rehab, twins Ellery and Ezra Corcoran are uprooted from California to live with their grandmother in Vermont. Ellery, obsessed with real crime, knows that the town is infamous for the disappearance of girls. His own aunt, his mother’s twin, disappeared 23 years ago, never to be found. Only five years ago, Lacey Kilduff was found murdered in nearby Murderland, a Halloween theme park. All eyes are on the twins when they are the new children in the city, and Ellery is among the popular girls, and Malcolm Kelly, Declan’s younger brother, Lacey’s boyfriend, and the person they all suspect killed her. Disturbing acts of vandalism appear, threatening a sequel to the events in Murderland. When Ellery is nominated for the homecoming queen, the threats begin to point to her and the other princesses, and no matter what she does, Malcolm continues to end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, which makes him a goat easy expiatory. Alternating between the perspectives of Ellery and Malcolm, the mystery unfolds at a deliciously growing pace, full of credible red herrings and shocking twists. Readers will turn pages furiously to the satisfactory end. Although the students are predominantly white, Ellery and Ezra are biracial (white and Latinx), and Ezra is gay. Malcolm is white, and his best friend is an American Korean bisexual girl.
A masterful rhythm with well-earned emotions and a spooky atmosphere in which it is worth immersing yourself.
