I'm actually loving this series. It's really well written and interesting, I love the two mysteries at one. The pacing is perfect. There's some eye-roll, predictable moments with the YA elements but, hey, these teens have to learn.

Good mystery that kept my interest. I like that I have an answer to one of the big questions and that I didn’t see it coming. Now I have to read book three to get answers to all my other questions!

I found the book to be slow and puerile at times. The ending was okay, but the whole story was dragged out and naive.

That cliffhanger was unfair, Maureen.

Every time I think the author couldn’t possibly add more to this story, she does! The Truly Devious case is a truly magnificent and intricate tale with mysteries hidden in every corner.
