Truly Devious: A Mystery Audiobook (Free)

New York Instances bestselling author Maureen Johnson weaves a sensitive tale of murder and mystery in the 1st book of a striking brand-new series, ideal for fans of Agatha Christie and E. Lockhart.

Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and performers. It had been founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wished to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and landscapes. “A place,” he stated, “where learning is definitely a about Truly Devious: A Mystery game.”

Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. Really the only clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the terrifying pseudonym “Truly, Devious.” It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American background.

True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin with her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this frosty case. That is, she will resolve the situation when she gets a hold on her demanding new school existence and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the professional, the artist, and the jokester. But something unusual is going on. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and loss of life revisits Ellingham Academy. Days gone by offers crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten aside with murder.

The two interwoven mysteries of this first book in the Truly Devious series dovetail brilliantly, and Stevie Bell will continue her relentless quest for the murderers in books two and three.
