A LOT!!! It killed me to stay away from this book for so long. The Truly Devious trilogy was indulging and I remember finishing #2 after an 18 hour shift at the ICU in one sitting. I did so similarly with Nine Liars. My only complaint is that sometimes, somethings feel unnecessary and too dragged upon. Eventually it all makes sense but I just got too impatient with this book. The minus 1 star aside, this is such a brilliantly written mystery. The maps are so adorable and just what we need to get a hang of the setting. Its been almost 2 years since I read the box in the woods but I still remember the characters and their dynamics. I love that these teenagers are not annoying unlike in a lot of other YA novels. The alternating timelines make me want to keep reading to find out what's happening next in each storyline and how they will eventually merge. My favorite part of Nine Liars has to be how David got Stevie to the case simply by making friends. It is as though other unsolved cases just find their way to her, since she solved the Ellingham murders. The Truly Devious universe works in mysterious ways! I kind of wanted Stevie to find her college/scholarship through this case, but it ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER. So, please save with and throw TD#6 at my face ASAP!!!

HTML: Stevie Bell solved the case of Truly Devious, and now she's taking her detecting skills abroad when she becomes embroiled in a mystery from 1990s England. Another pulse-pounding and laugh-out-loud stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson. Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn't going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to distract her from the questions pinging around her brainā??questions about college, love, and life in general. Relief comes when David invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In 1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax. The case was assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven saw something she can't explain. This was no break-in. Someone's lying about what happened in the woodshed. Seven suspects. Two murders. One killer still playing a deadly game. No library descriptions found. |
