I was so happy to revisit Stevie and her friends! This was perfect as a ya mystery with nods to horror slashers with the camp murder setting.
We pick up with Stevie the summer after her eventful school year, where she has gained a bit of notoriety as a teen sleuth. A subscription box CEO reaches out to her about being a camp counselor at a summer camp, but also helping him solve a cold case concerning the murder of four camp counselors in the woods a few decades ago. She asks to bring her friends as fellow counselors and the trouble starts.
Coming into this a big fan of the Truly Devious series, I enjoyed the equivalent of hearing from old friends again. As a horror fan, I enjoyed the nods to teen slashers with the nature of the Box in the Woods murders. This is a fun spinoff, deviating from the dark academia setting to a light summer camp murder mystery.
Moderate: Murder and Drug use
Minor: Blood, Car accident, and Death
