I've come to the conclusion I will pick up anything having to do with the Truly Devious Series. I am so deeply attached to these characters and am constantly wishing for more books in this series. That being said I loved seeing the Ellingham crew in a different setting such as a summer camp and being able to see Stevie work her detective magic again never fails to bring a smile to my face. I thoroughly enjoyed the build-up of this mystery and the reveal left me ferociously reading until 3 am.
