The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson
Product Details
Web ID: 15412933Too many plot holes
I’m torn. I wanted to love this book, but alas, I didn’t. Stevie Bell is a super sleuth and along with her friends, Janelle, Nate, and David they make a great team. Stevie ends up at a summer camp to solve a murder mystery from the 70s. Not just any murder mystery though -there were 4 bodies. Carson is the new owner of the camp and knows Stevie is the one for the job. A threatening start has Stevie wondering who knows her so well. Can she blow the lid off this box -case- before anyone else ends up dead….?? Without spoiling anything -there were a lot of plot holes. Like, A LOT. I hashed this out with a friend and there were a lot of gaps and nothing we could have filled in. The reader didn’t know much of anything until the last 10% of the book and by then I was kind of like “get to the point.” Moral of this story -don’t do drugs in the woods in the middle of the night.
