Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection "Suspense, intrigue,
and isolation converge in this perfect storm of a thriller."--Mindy
McGinnis, author of The Female of the Species
"A white-knuckle, claustrophobic, locked-room tour de force, Two
Truths and a Lie is a worthy successor to Agatha
Christie."--Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten and #murdertrending
"An homage to Agatha Christie, Henry's locked-room mystery is
tautly plotted, with quick-moving nail-biting chapters, relatable
characters, and a deftly wrought setting that paradoxically manages
to feel both claustrophobic and sprawling .... An atmospheric and
entertaining thriller perfect for snowy night chills."--Kirkus
Reviews
"April Henry is a prolific author who, in my opinion, consistently
writes engaging and authentically teen YA books that remind me of
those 90s and 2000s paperback series, and this is the highest
compliment I can give her as an author. Just as adults still love
to read Harlequin romances, I believe that a lot is being lost in
teen fiction and in our libraries by moving away from those quick,
fun - and easy to carry because they are paperback - series that
you can consistently count on for some great escapist reading that
horrifies, delights, and engages. April Henry excels at this...A
thing that I appreciate with April Henry is how authentically teen
her protagonists feel and sound on a consistent basis. I have never
walked away from an April Henry book thinking those characters were
adults that they just labelled as 17 to market them as YA. And did
I mention they are fun and engaging reads?!"--SLJ.com's Teen
Librarian Toolbox
"Henry returns with another thriller that will keep readers on the
edges of their seats with mystery and romance, plus various theater
references that give the novel a unique feel. Multiple twists and
turns will keep readers guessing until the very end. An engrossing
read."--Booklist
"Henry successfully incorporates elements of romance into a
snowed-inn mystery with Agatha Christie roots."--Publishers
Weekly
"Told with nods to Agatha Christie and in eerie detail, this
thriller is sure to delight fans of mystery, suspense, and a
little horror.... A grisly, fast-paced, suspenseful tale of a
murder and mystery that is great for fans of noir thrillers who do
not mind a little gore."--School Library Journal
