When I read Truly Devious a few years ago I knew it was something special. While it was too YA for my middle school library and for the award committee I was reading for, I myself was hooked. Last year, during a lag time on the committee, I reread Truly Devious and read the other 2 books in the series - and bought them for myself (I don't buy many books for myself really). So, when I saw this on the Goodreads of a friend I rushed right over to Amazon to get it. Drat - not published yet, so the next best thing - get it on NetGalley and read it. Don't worry - I will be purchasing it for myself.
After solving the Ellingham mystery Stevie has time on her hands and no plans. When she is invited to work at a summer camp where murders took place in 1978 she jumps at the chance to work on another mystery. But for a long time she is stumped - was it a drug deal gone bad, a serial killer called the Woodsman, or something else entirely? Maybe it's just enough to find a mysterious missing diary of one of the victims... except that the diary is dangerous and could expose everything.
Loved this - favorite characters back, good mystery, and just darn good overall. Now I think I may need to read more by Maureen Johnson.
