The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson
3.0

Stevie solved the murder mystery at her school and is now famous. She receives an offer to go to a camp to solve the Box in the Woods murder mystery. Four teenagers go into the woods and are brutally murdered. It has never been solved, but we know our girl Stevie can solve anything. She is allowed to bring her friends to camp to work and they all become involved with the case.
This is probably one of my least favorite books out of the series. I loved seeing Stevie and her friends. There was some humor. But, I feel like the big reveal was pulled out of thin air and that everything became rushed. I feel like we didn’t have enough screen time of her actually solving the case and everything happened off screen. This one was just ehh.
