New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson delivers the witty and
pulse-pounding conclusion to the Truly Devious series as Stevie Bell
solves the mystery that has haunted Ellingham Academy for over 75 years.
Now available in paperback.
Ellingham Academy must be cursed. Three people are
now dead. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder.
Another, dead by misadventure. And now, an accident in Burlington has
claimed another life. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time.
All at the exact moment of Stevie's greatest triumph . . .
She knows who Truly Devious is. She's solved it. The greatest case of the century.
At least, she thinks she has. With this latest
tragedy, it's hard to concentrate on the past. Not only has someone died
in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to
something. Stevie is sure that somehow-somehow-all these things connect.
The three deaths in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing
Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Somewhere in this place
of riddles and puzzles there must be answers.
Then another accident occurs as a massive storm
heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and
administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously, it's time for
Stevie to do something stupid. It's time to stay on the mountain and
face the storm-and a murderer.
In the tantalizing finale to the Truly Devious
trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson expertly
tangles her dual narrative threads and ignites an explosive end for all
who've walked through Ellingham Academy.
Praise for the Truly Devious series:
"Readers, hang tight: there's one more round to
come, and if the signs are right, it'll be to die for." -Publishers
Weekly (starred review)
"The Agatha Christie-like ecosystem pairs with
lacerating contemporary wit, and alternating past and present scenes
makes for a multilayered, modern detective story." -New York Times Book
Review

knowing it was special? There's that same sense of magic in the
introduction of teen Sherlock-in-training Stevie Bell." -USA Today (four
