Two timelines, one academy mystery

Set around Ellingham Academy, the trilogy connects an unsolved 1936 kidnapping and triple murder with the present-day investigations of teen sleuth Stevie Bell. The old case is the reason Stevie comes to the school; when more students die after her arrival, the mystery spans deaths in both past and present. This box set gathers the three paperbacks—*Truly Devious*, *The Vanishing Stair*, and *The Hand on the Wall*—in one 1,232-page collection, giving the reader the complete trilogy in a single volume set.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen and young adult readers interested in mysteries and detective stories.
  • Readers who enjoy investigations linking a historical cold case with events in the present.
  • A gift option for someone who wants all three books in the trilogy together.

Book overview

Bestselling author Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious
trilogy is a hilarious and inspiring whodunit that weaves together the story of
a cold case from 1936 and the story of teen sleuth Stevie Bell in the present.
The Truly Devious box set includes all three paperbacks in the series and is
perfect for gift-giving and binge reading.


The Truly Devious case--an unsolved kidnapping and triple
murder that rocked Ellingham Academy in 1936--has consumed Stevie for years.
It's the very reason she came to the Academy. But after she arrives, more
students turn up dead. Teen detective Stevie is on the case until she solves
every mysterious death--from the past and the present.


Praise for Truly Devious:


"Parallel mysteries unfold with cleverly written dialogue,
pate-turning brilliance, and a young sleuth as captivating as Hercule Poirot." --USA Today


"The Agatha Christie-like ecosystem pairs with lacerating
contemporary wit. A multilayered, modern detective story." --The New York
Times Book Review


Praise for The Vanishing Stair:


"Take it from the world's most impatient reader: If the
Truly Devious series is basically one long mystery book, The Vanishing Stair
is middle part so enjoyable you won't even want to skip to the end." --Entertainment
Weekly


Praise for The Hand on the Wall:


"A richly satisfying, Poirot-like ending for Johnson's
inspired and inspiring teen sleuth." --Kirkus Reviews
