Nell has always wanted to be an actor, but doubts her ability. As a member of her school' s theater program, she prefers working backstage. On the way to a contest, an unexpected blizzard strands her acting troupe in a creepy motel. Soon they meet a group of strangers from another high school-including the mysterious and handsome Knox, who insists they play the game Two Truths and a Lie. When it' s Nell' s turn, she draws a slip of paper inked in unfamiliar handwriting:I like to watch people die. I' ve lost count of how many people I' ve killed. Suddenly a night of harmless fun turns into a matter of life and death. As guests go missing, it becomes clear that a murderer is hiding in their midst ready to strike again. In a room full of liars and performers, the truth is never quite what it seems. Nell is going to have to act like her life depends on it-because it does.

Multiple twists and turns will keep readers guessing until the very end. An engrossing read. "--Booklist "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 "Henry successfully incorporates elements of romance into a snowed-inn mystery with Agatha Christie roots. "--Publishers Weekly "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
