Maureen Johnson Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Kids' Books Editorial Review
Truly Devious is a mystery novel set in a boarding school in Vermont. The story follows Stevie, a young detective fan, who becomes an amateur sleuth investigating a cold case from 1936 that occurred at the school. However, while interning in Ellingham Academy, where the murder happened, a fellow student dies, leading Stevie to launch her modern mystery hunt. The book's exciting plot and unique characters, especially its female lead, make it an enjoyable read for fans of the genre. Although some felt a distance from the characters, the diverse personalities and their peculiarities make them more interesting. The story has a cliffhanger ending that left readers eagerly anticipating the sequel, which continues the story and provides answers to the questions raised in the first instalment.
