Now in paperback.  Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. “A place,” he said, “where learning is a game.” Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym “Truly, Devious.” It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history.   True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52356474011879,"sku":"9780062338068","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9608\/8807\/files\/b30a49c2328b746eb3e6a0ca03526db4b2f97dd7782aea1df0993b51c8e86319.jpg?v=1784575008","url":"https:\/\/curiouscabinetsbookshop.com\/products\/truly-devious-maureen-johnson","provider":"Curious Cabinets Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
