Title: The Vanishing Stair Pdf Truly Devious Series, Book 2
In New York Times best-selling author Maureen Johnson's second novel in the Truly Devious series, there are more twists and turns than Stevie Bell can imagine. No answer is given freely, and someone will pay for the truth with his or her life.
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 then her classmate was murdered, and her parents quickly pull her out of school. For her safety, they say. She must move past this obsession with crime.
Stevie's willing to do anything to get back to Ellingham, be back with her friends, and solve the Truly Devious case. Even if it means making a deal with the despicable Senator Edward King. When Stevie finally returns, she also returns to David: the guy she kissed and the guy who lied about his identity - Edward King's son.
But larger issues are at play. Where did the murderer hide? What's the meaning of the riddle Albert Ellingham left behind? And what, exactly, is at stake in the Truly Devious affair? The Ellingham case isn't just a piece of history - it's a live wire into the present.
I read this so fast I'm SHOOK So the second I finished Truly, Devious in November, I 1) Preordered this book 2) Re-read it to be sure I was sure of all the clues about who the kidnapper was and so I knew and could satisfy myself as I waited to learn the answer to that all consuming riddle. (P.s. magnificent author lady, if you are reading this, I asked everyone I knew to come up with answers, and we all had so many. And of course I thought about it every single day when I woke up, and yet didn't come up with the answer and it's literally so simple I was so mad at myself!) So last night I was thinking about how I would get to read this today, I'd literally marked my Calendar, when it was delivered to my kindle at 11 pm central time! HUZZAH FOR ME, but alas not for my sleep schedule. I started reading it right away because I had to know the answer to the riddle, and I was about 76% of the way through when I realized, Holy Shark, I have read 76% of this book. Then I was so sad that it was going to be over soon, that I thought about putting it down. It was 1:30 am after all. But I couldn't. So onwards I went. And now I'm going to have to wait a whole year just to read the next one, which has me in the pit of despair. If you haven't read the first book in this series, please read it, and then come talk to me about it. I need to converse about this. I've read A LOT A LOT of books in my lifetime, and I rarely write reviews, but this series has stuck with me, and inspired me in my own writing, and I just want to share it with everyone. Maureen Johnson is so talented, my creative writing major self is made extremely insecure by her immense talent. This is me, bowing down to the new queen of mystery. That is all. (Off to re-read and try and solve the modern day stuff because I am thoroughly vexed by this wait time)As good as the first one... No... please don't end the book like that! If Truly Devious left the way clear for the second book, this volume will make you anxiously wait for #3. I still loved the atmosphere at the Academy, Stevie and her friends' sense of humor, and a plot that thickens.Intriguing story Read Truly, Devious first and then read this book. I am hooked on this story line and cannot wait for the next book in the series. There's this boarding school up in Vermont started by a rich man who invited gifted students to come learn a new way. The rich man's wife and child had been kidnapped, and students are turning up dead in tunnels under the school. One student, Stevie, is determined to solve the kidnappings and the murders. So good!
