Truly Devious
In the Truly Devious series, Maureen Johnson masterfully blends suspense, wit, and a touch of dark academia to create a gripping mystery that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. At the heart of this atmospheric tale is Stevie Bell, a brilliant, quirky teenager with an obsession for unsolved crimes. When she arrives at the prestigious Ellingham Academy, a school for gifted students, she’s determined to crack the long-unsolved mystery of the Ellingham kidnapping and murder—a crime that has haunted the academy for decades.
As Stevie digs deeper into the past, unraveling clues and confronting long-buried secrets, she becomes entangled in her own modern-day mystery, one that is as chilling and perplexing as the one that first brought her to Ellingham. The series takes readers on a rollercoaster of twists and turns, with suspense that lingers in every page, drawing them into a world where every answer only seems to lead to more questions.
