I can barely write this review because I am so eager to pick up “The Hand on the Wall” which is currently calling out for me on my shelf. This book is incredible and in my opinion better than book 1. Maureen Johnson is a genius at writing mysteries that incorporate every little detail in the story. And what a cliffhanger! Excuse me as I stay up all night reading book 3
