Bestselling author Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious trilogy is a hilarious and inspiring whodunit that weaves together the story of a cold case from 1936 and the story of teen sleuth Stevie Bell in the present. The Truly Devious box set includes all three paperbacks in the series and is perfect for gift-giving and binge reading. The Truly Devious case - an unsolved kidnapping and triple murder that rocked Ellingham Academy in 1936 - has consumed Stevie for years. It's the very reason she came to the Academy. But after she arrives, more students turn up dead. Teen detective Stevie is on the case until she solves every mysterious death - from the past and the present. Praise for Truly Devious- "Parallel mysteries unfold with cleverly written dialogue, pate-turning brilliance, and a young sleuth as captivating as Hercule Poirot." - USA Today "The Agatha Christie-like ecosystem pairs with lacerating contemporary wit. A multilayered, modern detective story." - The New York Times Book Review Praise for The Vanishing Stair- "Take it from the world's most impatient reader: If the Truly Devious series is basically one long mystery book, The Vanishing Stair is middle part so enjoyable you won't even want to skip to the end." - Entertainment Weekly.

Fantastic Series

Loved the mystery, the interesting school setting, the personalities and friendships, and also the glimpses into my grandparent’s era. Another reviewer said it’s too political but I disagree as there is one minor character that is a politician/parent. Besides that being a very minor part of the overall story it is fiction and any thoughts regarding real world politics would stem from the reader.

Really Fun Read, Had Me Guessing Throughout!

I haven't read many mysteries but I have heard a lot about this author. I think the humour and lighthearted approach to this mystery made it a really fun, easy read. I found it easy to jump in and out of the book and I enjoyed the characters, especially the mc. I've been listening to the audiobooks but I'm going to buy the full paperback set :) This is something i would probably reread again in a few years or loan to a friend.

The plot was good but it was too political

I bought this series with high hopes. I wanted it to be really good and it wasn’t terrible, but the political aspect was just ridiculous. Didn’t like most of the characters (especially Stevie) and I couldn’t even get halfway through the third book.
