I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to. I'll be linking up to Tressa's blog at Wishful Endings and plan to take part in this each week.
One of my favorite books last year was the YA mystery, Truly Devious. I knew it was part of a proposed trilogy and now it's time for the next book to be published. This week, I can't wait for:
by Maureen Johnson
Publication Date: January 22nd
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. And 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.
That looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping so, Kathy.
DeleteThis sounds interesting! I think I need to look for the first book.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you have to read the first, but it would probably flow better if you did.
DeleteThe cover is beautiful and luckily is coming out soon!
ReplyDeleteI know. Good, right?
DeleteI'm excited for this one as well, although I might have to go back and read the first book in order to remember who is who and what's what. Curse my aging memory!
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing, Susan. I'm thinking about listening to the first one and then moving on to the second.
DeleteI love the sound of this one!
ReplyDeleteTruly Devious was good. And this one sounds quite good too. Glad it sounds that way to you too.
DeleteI know lots of people who have enjoyed the first one as well. Hope this one lives up to everyone's expectations.
ReplyDeleteI do too, Barb. I liked another trilogy by this author, so I'm thinking I'll probably be happy with this one too.
DeleteIt sounds good so I hope you get to read it soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming out soon, so I've got the audio pre-ordered.
DeleteI haven't read any books from this particular series, but I do really like Maureen Johnson! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I read a previous trilogy by her which used a Jack the Ripper theme. Loved it.
DeleteI haven't read the first book yet, but I hope you continue to enjoy the series!
ReplyDeleteThe first book was quite good I thought. Hoping this one is as well.
DeleteI don't think I've read any of her books and this series sound like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like the first book, Melody. It is a YA book, but that doesn't matter. It's pretty intriguing.
DeleteI have Truly Devious on my TBR and this one looks just as good! I don't read much YA but I'll make an exception for this one!
ReplyDeleteI think you might enjoy Truly Devious, Katherine.
DeleteLooks like a winner.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be fun.
DeleteI have Truly Devious on my bookshelf so I need to get to it to be ready for this one!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about finding out the next part of the puzzle. :-)
