The Vanishing Stair is the second book in the Truly Devious series. Set in a private academy located in Vermont, Stevie Bell continues to try to solve the cold case of the Ellingham murders, while sinister things keep happening to her own classmates.


I read Truly Devious on my Kindle but decided to listen to The Vanishing Stair audiobook. There is a lot of build up in the first half of the book as Stevie returns to Ellingham Academy, loose ends from the first novel are tied up, and new characters are introduced. The second half makes up for it as many realizations and events happen. Just like Truly Devious, The Vanishing Stair ends with some questions still being unanswered and I can't wait to start The Hand on the Wall!
