Hi Bookstagram Family, Finally, it is Friday evening. What plans do you have for this weekend? Doing something exciting? #tgif I read the Truly Devious series a couple of months back and now I am sharing my thoughts about it. This series is quite interesting, unique and the characters are awesome. The protagonist Stephanie Bell or Stevie is strong, intelligent, and smart. She is devoted to law enforcement. The entire series is described in two timelines. Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists and was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth-century tycoon. Soon after the school started his wife and daughter were kidnapped and this has become the case of century and nobody was able to solve it. 80 years later, Stevie is admitted to this school and her mission is to study and solve this case. I adore books with strong female protagonists and hence I enjoyed this series a lot. This series has three books, Truly Devious (Book 1) is much slower than the other two books in the series The Vanishing Stairs (Book 2) and The Hand In The Wall (Book 3). So if you are reading or have read Book 1, don't be disappointed. This series is about to get better. I feel this series could have been easily accommodated into two books instead of three. A few things seemed repetitive at times especially during the description of the events that took place 80 years back. The riddles give it Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None vibe. All in all, I recommend this series. The fourth book in this series The Box in the Woods is coming in April 2021 and I am looking forward to reading it.
