Man, I love a good mystery/thriller. Two Can Keep a Secret is technically the sequel to One of Us is Lying. I haven't read One of Us is Lying yet, but I never felt lost in the story. As far as I know, it's a whole new set of characters taking the lead, even though there are some familiar ones.

The story was easy to follow and McManus' writing flowed smoothly. There's enough action to keep you interested and enough clues to keep you guessing. I had no idea who the killer was until the last few chapters, and the last words of the story chilled me to the bone.

I love it when books get that sort of reaction from me. Two Can Keep a Secret wasn't overly thrilling (such as my favourite thriller of all time, Small Spaces), but it still kept me intrigued and wanting more. I look forward to more of McManus' works, and I will definitely be reading One of Us is Lying.
