This is the third and last installment of the Truly Devious mystery series. This can be read as a stand a lone but I really wouldn’t recommend it. This is a who dunnit mystery along the lines of Agatha Christie. The story switches between a present day boarding school and a kidnapping that happened in the 1930’s on the same grounds. I found the 1930’s parts of the books to be the most entertaining. This book is appropriate for grades 8-12 and I would recommend adding the whole series to your collection.
