The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson
5.0
Stevie Bell was made to leave Ellingham academy after one student died and another went missing. Until one day, when their senator, Edward King, showed up at her house with a proposition for her. She could go back to Ellingham as long as she kept his son David in school. Stevie does whatever she can to get back to the school and away from her parents so she takes the deal and goes back to try and solve the Ellingham case. Armed with a new lead will we finally get answers to who kidnapped Iris and Alice?
I liked this book a lot more than the first one, mostly because I felt like I got a few answers. The mystery still isn't solved for me though and again it leaves me longing for more of a case of the week sort of set up. However, the answers that you are given are satisfying and the questions that the book leaves you with are enticing enough to warrant further reading of the series. I am hoping that the case is resolved in the next book, although I don't think it will be because supposedly there is a fourth book coming out this month. We shall see...
