Truly Devious
by Maureen Johnson
Let's give it a proper review because I can't be bothered to write my University essay right now.
This book has a fantastic start and perfectly combines A Good Girls Guide to Murder and The Inheritance Games. We have the bright young girl who wants to solve mysteries that "have already been solved, but she doesn't believe they got the right guy." However, in Stevie's case, the mystery is decades old, and she has to travel to the very, very cold mountains to do it.
I liked the book and gave it 4,5 stars. The only reasons it doesn't get the full five-star review are 1) it left so many questions unanswered, and I don't think we got an answer to a single thing in this book. 2) whyyyy did Maureen feel the need to sneak politics into the series? Ridiculous; I want a murder mystery where a 17-year-old solves shit she shouldn't be able to, not a political plot.
I can't stand David, he's so annoying, and it bothers me that Stevie likes him!
