This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Stevie Bell solved the case of Truly Devious, and now she’s taking her detecting skills abroad when she becomes embroiled in a mystery from 1990s England. Another pulse-pounding and laugh-out-loud stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson.
Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn’t going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to distract her from the questions pinging around her brain—questions about college, love, and life in general.
Relief comes when David invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In 1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax.
The case was assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven saw something she can’t explain. This was no break-in. Someone’s lying about what happened in the woodshed.
Seven suspects. Two murders. One killer still playing a deadly game.

Why I’m Waiting: First of all, WHO KNEW THIS WAS A THING?! And I’m particularly salty because I’m an actual fan of the series. I think when I read the last one I was sad that the big case was over and I wish she had another one. And THENNNN earlier this year I was watching Cold Case Files and I was hooked. I asked for a few books with cold cases. NO ONE MENTIONED THIS WAS A THING. But if you’re wondering if now I’m going to be obsessing over this until it comes out, you are absolutely correct. (Also, this cover is terrible. Who did this?! smh)
What about you? Will you read this? Did you read the others? Let me know in the comments!
Oh nice! I STILL need to start this series! Glad to hear it’s still going strong! Hope you enjoy this one once you get to read it!
