À propos de cet audio
New York Times best-selling 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 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". 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.

Histoire
Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery's never been there, but she's heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age 17. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now, Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows. The town is picture-perfect, but it's hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone has declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing.

With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind.

Histoire
When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Everyone knows the Ivies: the most coveted universities in the United States. Far more important are the Ivies. The Ivies at Claflin Academy, that is. Five girls with the same mission: to get into the Ivy League by any means necessary. I would know. I'm one of them. We disrupt class ranks, club leaderships, and academic competitions...among other things. We improve our own odds by decreasing the fortunes of others. Because hyper-elite competitive college admissions is serious business. And in some cases, it's deadly.

There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook. First there was the car accident - two girls dead after hitting a tree on a rainy night. Not long after, the murders happened. Those two girls were killed by the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know his reasons. Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die. After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost.

Truly terrible narration
I enjoyed the book in a general sense but feel that I would have preferred reading it instead of listening to it. I found the narration to be awful. So bad that I almost gave up. The male voices are beyond ridiculous. I was listening to it in the car with my husband and 14 year old daughter on a long road trip and non of us could let a single sentence of male dialogue go by without a solid guffaw and attempt (to great amusement) to imitate it.
The story appears to be clever and well told (at least initially) however I felt very let down by the ending. I agree with previous reviews that it's appropriate to carry elements of a mystery through a series but that there needs to be some resolution within individual books. It feels jarring and a bit of a cheap trick. So much so that I am not inclined to read the next ones.
There were some ridiculous and improbable elements that bothered me. How Stevie manages to ignore the message left on her wall by 'Devious', chalking it up to lack of sleep, heightened anxiety or what have you. As well as how she, for far too long, seems not even to consider the idea that the death of her fellow student was a murder and not an accident. (especially when paired with the message on her wall). These elements seemed out of keeping for the intelligent and intuitive teenager that is painted as a bit of a genius of crime.
All in all, the writing is better than average for the genre with creative detail, but the plot and pacing need some work. And please, oh please, a different narrator!!

Holy cliffhangers Batman!
So good! Kept me guessing the whole time!
I liked that there was a mystery happening right now, but also an unsolved mystery from 1936 that she is trying to solve!
Highly recommend!
Jumping into the next one right now!

ok
Picked this up on Audible, listened a second time today. As an adult reading this, it doesn't really hold up to a second read. The concept is great, the mystery is compelling, but...
I would like this trilogy a lot better if it weren’t for the extremely problematic romance subplot between Stevie, the protagonist, and David, the undercover rich bad boy with a terrible attitude and a massive chip on his shoulder. No, seriously, I would hesitate to recommend this to an actual youth/teenager because of how unhealthy the relationship was. It’s just getting started in this installment, and it gets much worse, but it’s bad enough. A relationship based on lies, obfuscations and suspicion, built on a foundation of shared trauma. They don’t even /like/ each other. It was unnecessary and it added nothing of value to the plot.
It ruins what would otherwise be a pretty good YA/teen mystery.
The other thing is, the characters are largely one-dimensional. It's like they've each been allowed to have two or maybe three traits, and that's it. Stevie likes true crime, doesn't care about her appearance and has an anxiety disorder. Janelle is queer, cheerful and good at building things. Nate is a curmudgeon with touch-aversion and crippling writers block. It's not the wooorst, but it's not great, and it makes it hard to really get invested.
I will say, though, the 1930s plot is pretty great, and it's the reason why I finished the trilogy.

Truly Disappointing
I just wasn’t compelled by the characters or convinced of the mysteries. I ended up googling the the series synopses and quitting 80% through.
