if david is your book boyfriend, get help.
the plot made zero sense. miss johnson i know you've got a book 6 in that computer of yours. leak the whole book please???? i hope book 6 has a d3ath trope and stevie finds a nice guy (author eliminated the possibility of nate)
“You know how I feel about you, right?” she said. “Like, if you needed a kidney or something, you should definitely come to me after you’ve asked everyone else you can think of.”
“This is why I decided to tell you first,” he replied. “You’re sort of as close as I get to that stuff. That’s why I keep following you to second locations.” roman empire.
“Do you want me to . . .” He searched for something to say. “I don’t know, punch him in the dick or something?”
i can't believe we have to deal with that asshole when this beautiful man exists.

hated this because why are there so many problems between david and stevie, and why is there a cliffhanger? david has gotten so annoying in this book, i cant take him seriously anymore
also skimmed through all the long paragraphs about history and landmarks blah blah, everything just seemed so irrelavant to the story
i am so annoyed with this book, should have stopped at the previous book
will only continue the next book to read about them

Stevie Bell is what I wished Nancy Drew had been. Stevie is earnest, slightly awkward, makes mistakes, suffers from bouts of insecurity and anxiety, and loves her friends. She is relatable and hilarious at the same time. You need to get to know her.
“Nine Liars” is the latest installment in the Truly Devious series that features Stevie and her friends as they solve a mystery. This time they are visiting London (and Stevie’s boyfriend) and a country manor house where they end up knee-deep in a decades-old murder mystery. Stevie unleashes her well-honed detecting skills to find the killer, but the crew is running out of time before their flight home. Will this case prove to be too complex even for Stevie?
There is much to like about this story and its main characters. Though this is the first in the series that I have read, author Maureen Johnson provides just enough backstory to bring new readers along for the ride. Elements of classic English murder mysteries are sprinkled throughout. Elements of classic teen sleuth stories are there as well (such as the parents who are unseen, but supportive adults).
This book is great for teen and adult mystery lovers. I will be recommending this book to my students and will suggest the entire series to the Bookworms (more on them later, but let’s just say they are buying LOTS of books for a school library). I will be reading the rest of the series (and I SO hope there are more installments).
Thanks #NetGalley and Katherine Tegan Books for an advance reader’s e-copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. “Nine Liars” arrives on shelves at the end of the month.

The actual murder mystery was very good and I didn't see the ending coming, but the rest of the book was quite boring and seemed to drag. Stevie and David's relationship took up so much of the book and eventually lead nowhere. Most of the book was very slow paced and then the end just rushed in and the book was done.
Having so many main characters didn't help the book either. Nate's coming out seemed very out of the blue and the other 'side plots' didn't seem to be that informative.
To be fair, this is the first book I've read out of the series, so maybe the side plots are more built up in the previous books.

truly devious meets if we were villains. my children are so silly and i love them anyway. -1 because i do NOT like cliffhangers. i got enough of that with rick riordan.
Not as good as the first three but better than the last one ❤️ I loved the dynamics and the twist was wow
