Stevie’s parents, big supporters and donators to King’s causes, are willing enough to agree to this and thus Stevie returns. But all is not lost when David’s father, the reviled Edward King, arrives with a proposition: Stevie returns to Ellingham in order to placate his troublesome son. After Stevie pinned so many hopes on attempting to solve the mysteries at the heart of Ellingham academy, her parents pull her away. It took me a bit, but now I’m finally back to see what mysteries will be revealed here! Spoiler alert: not enough. I listened to it as an audiobook and ended up really enjoying it, even if I was able to predict a few of the twists and turns.
That being the case, “Truly, Devious,” a YA mystery was a new thing for me. That or adult forensic crime stories, ala the “Temperance Brennan” series and such. Review: While I do enjoy mystery novels, they’re typically of the historical mystery variant. But the path to the truth has more twists and turns than she can imagine-and moving forward involves hurting someone she cares for. The tantalizing riddles behind the Ellingham murders are still waiting to be unraveled, and Stevie knows she’s so close. If Stevie’s at school, David will stay put. King is in the midst of a campaign and can’t afford his son stirring up trouble. In return, she must play nice with David. Then King himself arrives at her house to offer a deal: He will bring Stevie back to Ellingham immediately. David, who lied to her about his identity-son of despised politician Edward King. At least she won’t have to see David anymore.
Now that Stevie’s away from the school of topiaries and secret tunnels, and her strange and endearing friends, she begins to feel disconnected from the rest of the world. She must move past this obsession with crime.
