Story4 out of 5 stars 64
Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early 20th 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".

Amateur sleuth Stevie Bell needs a good murder. After catching a killer at her high school, she’s back at home for a normal (that means boring) summer. But then she gets a message from the owner of Sunny Pines, formerly known as Camp Wonder Falls - the site of the notorious unsolved case, the Box in the Woods Murders. Back in 1978, four camp counselors were killed in the woods outside of the town of Barlow Corners, their bodies left in a gruesome display.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times and USA Today best seller!
New York Times best-selling author Maureen Johnson delivers the witty and pulse-pounding conclusion to the Truly Devious series as Stevie Bell solves the mystery that has haunted Ellingham Academy for over 75 years.
Ellingham Academy must be cursed. Three people are now dead. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder. Another, dead by misadventure. And now, an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time. All at the exact moment of Stevie's greatest triumph....
She knows who Truly Devious is. She's solved it. The greatest case of the century.
At least, she thinks she has. With this latest tragedy, it's hard to concentrate on the past. Not only has someone died in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to something. Stevie is sure that somehow - somehow - all these things connect. The three deaths in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers.
Then another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously, it's time for Stevie to do something stupid. It's time to stay on the mountain and face the storm - and a murderer.
In the tantalizing finale to the Truly Devious trilogy, New York Times best-selling author Maureen Johnson expertly tangles her dual narrative threads and ignites an explosive end for all who’ve walked through Ellingham Academy.
Praise for the Truly Devious series:
"Readers, hang tight: there’s one more round to come, and if the signs are right, it'll be to die for." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"The Agatha Christie-like ecosystem pairs with lacerating contemporary wit, and alternating past and present scenes makes for a multilayered, modern detective story." (New York Times Book Review)
"Remember the first time reading Harry Potter and knowing it was special? There’s that same sense of magic in the introduction of teen Sherlock-in-training Stevie Bell." (USA Today, four stars)
"Be still, my Agatha-Christie-loving beating heart." (Bustle)

Great End to Series
I loved this series and was satisfied with the ending! The mystery had so many twists and turns and I was anxious to find answers! I wasn't sure of the narrator with the first book, but her style has grown on me. Overall amazing series that I would recommend!

good, but...
The 4 stars is me ignoring the romantic subplot, which I (maybe because I'm cynical and no longer a teenager) found problematic and not okay at all. It came very close to ruining it for me completely. Which is a shame, because as far as YA mysteries go, this was pretty interesting.
I just can't get past how horrible David was and how unhealthy his and Stevie's relationship was. Ugh.
But yeah. The story was alright, the mystery was solid, and the writing was ok.
The narration, well, you get used to it.

Five stars, great bedside manner
Cold meds made it impossible to sit up and have my eyes open to read, so I absorbed Maureen's words through my ears. Like, in one shot. Five out of five Nyquil shots.

Stevie Bell at Her Best
Totally satisfying and exciting conclusion! Fans will love Maureen Johnson's artistry and storytelling. The change of setting - Ellingham on the brink of a massive blizzard - also upped the tension and drama. Really great!

Worth reading all three!
The characters, setting and plot are all cozy and endearing, wry and delightful. Mysteries are romantic, but the crimes that create them much less so, and these books reflect both of those realities. The narrator is very enjoyable to listen to, bringing enough personality to entertain without going too far into melodrama. Her tone is lovely. Enjoyed all three books immensely, finished the three in about a week!

This was painful
This series could've had two books only and the story wouldn't have suffered. I hated this book so much, the main character Stevie is annoying her friendships and relationships with other characters feels forced. The entire book is just filler until you get to the end the aha moment which fell flat the build up to that moment was bad. I hate this book so much 8 hours I'll never get back.

Enjoyable
I really enjoyed listening to these three books. I absolutely love Stevie Bell and David. They are two of my favorite characters in this series. I was happy that there are two more books out about Stevie Bell. The school reminded me of a non magical Hogwarts. I’d recommend this series anyone.

Satisfying ending
For those that are mad that the first two don't finish everything, this one wraps it all up. I'm sure people who are better at this stuff than me could see the ending coming but I sure didn't. Great series overall.
