I assume he's going to get some redemption arc in book 3 but I would have much preferred to see more of literally any character aside from him. The contrived drama between her and Daniel was not compelling and I was super unsympathetic to the rich boy with daddy issues who is Hellbent on being the victim in every scenario. He was already arrogant, rude, and snobby, and in the sequel he's now bizarre in a way that's possibly meant to be fun and impulsive but just comes across as uncomfortable and weird.
Look I just can't take Daniel seriously as a character I'm supposed to be invested in, let alone meant to be into (from Steve's POV). * Junior Library Guild Selection * Chicago Public Library's Best of the Best Books of 2019 * Hypable's Best Books of 2019 * Where did the murderer hide? What’s the meaning of the riddle Albert Ellingham left behind? And what, exactly, is at stake in the Truly Devious affair? The Ellingham case isn’t just a piece of history - it’s a live wire into the present. And when Stevie finally returns, she also returns to David: the guy she kissed, and the guy who lied about his identity - Edward King’s son.īut larger issues are at play. Even if it means making a deal with the despicable Senator Edward King. Stevie’s willing to do anything to get back to Ellingham, be back with her friends, and solve the Truly Devious case. She must move past this obsession with crime. But then her classmate was murdered, and her parents quickly pull her out of school. It’s the very reason she came to the academy. The Truly Devious case - an unsolved kidnapping and triple murder that rocked Ellingham Academy in 1936 - has consumed Stevie for years.
No answer is given freely, and someone will pay for the truth with their life. In New York Times best-selling author Maureen Johnson’s second novel in the Truly Devious series, there are more twists and turns than Stevie Bell can imagine. New York Times and Publishers Weekly best seller!
