Nine Liars
by Maureen Johnson
Now for the final book, for the time being, in Stevie Bell's story. This one takes place primarily in London where Stevie, with the help of her boyfriend David, has managed to secure a week-long (not nearly long enough in my view) study abroad trip so that she can spend time with him as he studies at a British university. Of course, one of his study partners just happens to be related to a woman who was present when two friends who were murdered with the case going unsolved until the present day. I wish I had enjoyed this one as much as I did the previous one. The idea of an American author writing a book so British manor house mystery coded, just did not work. Even though Johnson did not write anything that came off as overtly wrong about the Britishisms included in the novel, nothing about it felt right either, especially the past sections where all of the characters are supposed to be British through and through. Then that ending. Sheesh. I will not be holding onto this one but I will probably check out the next one from the library just to see how Johnson deals with the relationship between Stevie and David.
