efinke 's review for:
Nine Liars
by Maureen Johnson
I loved the original Truly Devious trilogy and even Box in the Woods was a fun surprise. I thought the mysteries were original and the characters were (for the most part) really likable. This book takes place mostly abroad in England, and Stevie and Co. try to solve another cold case about murders that had taken place at a manor country house decades before present day. The murder mystery itself was fine, like I was kept guessing (it helped that there were so many suspects), but the group dynamics of Stevie and her friends felt weird in this book.
Also I think it’s time to recognize that Stevie and David do not have chemistry and they never had chemistry and they are so boring to read about. David is still annoying in this book just like he was in all of the other books. The ending of this book felt like a really cheap way to set up a new book. I want to read about Stevie and her friends solving crimes, not Stevie and David.
