My 2018 is off to a good start with Truly, Devious, the new book by Maureen Johnson – the first in a crime YA trilogy, featuring two different mysteries. How did I get this book: Review Copy from the publisher Stand alone or series: First in a trilogy The two interwoven mysteries of this first book in the Truly Devious series dovetail brilliantly, and Stevie Bell will continue her relentless quest for the murderers in books two and three. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester.
True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym “Truly, Devious.” It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history. Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. “A place,” he said, “where learning is a game.” It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens.
Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists.
