Description
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.
