It started out a little slow. About halfway through is when things started to pick up. I guessed who the killer was about halfway through. I usually love April Henry, but this wasn’t my favorite by her.

This was a fun read, but it wasn't as suspenseful as I would have hoped for this style book.

Not a bad locked room thriller! It was predictable, but still an enjoyable read.

Predictable, but satisfying.

2.5 rounded up to 3
The premise of this book was interesting but predictable. Also some of the story was questionable. Why did Adam and Nell have to be the ones to go out into the blizzard to look for Stuart when there were a number of adults there? The title of the book is two truths and a lie and they played, what, three rounds of the game at the very beginning?
Also to me it was unbelievable that 7 weeks later they’re all fine and back on stage when they were drugged and in an explosion? Maybe I thought too much into the story.
