书籍介绍
New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson weaves a delicate tale of murder and mystery in the first book of a striking new series, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and E. Lockhart. Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. “A place,” he said, “where learning is a game.” Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym “Truly, Devious.” It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history. True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away 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.
用户评论
作为YA Mystery,这本书还不错,但是现在要焦急地等待第二本。
3.75 大概是因为我同时在看I’ll be gone in the dark所以这本没让我觉得很恐怖悬疑 但是几个twist还是设置的不错的 是一本很fast-paced书但是character development真的有点糟糕…
新年第一本已读!!居然是trilogy,一个案子三本书才破完。这一本足足有400页,居然只是个引子。其实剧情还是蛮紧凑的,每天听一点不知不觉就听完了。有些喜欢的地方还倒回去听了几遍。我绝对不会承认是那谁和那谁make out的段落。开头我就在想David到底是谁儿子,最后还真是没想到呢。迫不及待开始第二本啦!
ahhhhhh,that damn cliffhanger
That cliffhanger though
看来是三部曲讲一个案子了 第二部 启动🤐
