Good mystery that kept my interest. I like that I have an answer to one of the big questions and that I didn’t see it coming. Now I have to read book three to get answers to all my other questions!

I found the book to be slow and puerile at times. The ending was okay, but the whole story was dragged out and naive.

That cliffhanger was unfair, Maureen.

Every time I think the author couldn’t possibly add more to this story, she does! The Truly Devious case is a truly magnificent and intricate tale with mysteries hidden in every corner.

this was a definite improvement from the first book but now that she’s solved the 1936 case im not sure if the current case has the strength to pull the 3rd book even further up
