Two Truths and A Lie - Sara Shephard

Two Truths & A Lie is the third installment in the Lying Games series.  I started reading the series because I enjoyed Shephard's Pretty Little Liars series.  Both of these series have now become hit TV series, which are loosely based upon the books.  I say loosely because, if you've read the books or seen the shows, you'll still be in for some surprises when you view/read the other. 

The premise of the Lying Games series is simple... twins separated at birth & soon to be reunited.  One sister has grown up in the foster system, while the other has grown up in luxury.  Just as Emma, the foster child, arrives to meet her twin, Sutton, for the first time Sutton is murdered.  Emma steps into her twin's life in order to protect herself & solve the murder.  True to form, Shephard provides enough plot twists and potential suspects to keep the mystery going.  The story is told by Sutton, who shadows her sister & only has brief memories of her former life, allowing Shephard to let the reader in on secrets that even Emma can't uncover.
