katlikespie 's review for:
Truly Devious
by Maureen Johnson
Sixteen year old Stevie Bell is a true-crime aficionado. She's a master of forensics, an old hand at criminology, and has read every Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes story out there. Now, Stevie is starting her junior year at Ellingham Academy - a private school on a mountain in Vermont, where students can study whatever they're interested in, with no tuition, thanks to the wealthy Ellingham family - after all, learning should be a game.
Ellingham Academy is also home to one of the biggest unsolved crimes in American history - the kidnapping and murder of society woman Mrs. Ellingham; her 3 year old daughter, Alice (whose body was never found); and student Dolores, back in 1936. The murders were preceded by a threatening letter signed by "Truly Devious."
Stevie is determined that she will be the one to solve this cold case. Unfortunately, it looks like Truly Devious - and the spectre of death - may not have left Ellingham Academy, after all, and Stevie may get her wish to investigate a real-life mystery.
Kat's Note: I read this in two days. I can't freaking wait for book 2!
