Twins Ellery and Ezra are moving to
Echo Ridge to live with their grandmother. Echo Ridge is a town known for
disappearances and murder. When she was seventeen, the twin’s aunt went
missing, five years ago the homecoming queen was murdered and upon their entry
into town they discover the science teacher’s dead body. As the teens settle
into their new town, including jobs at the Halloween themed amusement park,
Ellery is nominated to the homecoming court, another nominee has gone missing
and there are new threats to be had. Ellery decides to try and figure out the
mysteries and gains an ally in Malcolm, whose older brother is suspected of the
murder years earlier.
Despite none of the characters being
real stand-outs, readers will still like them. With multiple mysteries, this
story is a real page-turner. There is the question of if any or all of these
mysteries are connected, and if so, how?
