I would really recommend this book to someone else if they are aged 11+. It was a really good book as it was very mysterious and had many unexpected twists and turns in the story-line.

I enjoyed this book because it had very relatable character and it explores a mystery that next to nothing is known about. My favourite character is Nate because he is very self contained but funny and sounds like a nice person to hang out with.

I love this book i have read it twice now it is about Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont, founded by an early twentieth century tycoon for the best and brightest students around. When Ellingham's wife and daughter were kidnapped, the only clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym "Truly, Devious." Their disappearance became one of the great unsolved crimes in history. Many years later, true-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at the academy, and she is determined to solve this cold case. That is, she will solve it 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 Truly Devious makes a surprise return. The past has crawled out of its grave, and someone has gotten away with murder. i recommend for ages 13 and up as it has quite a few swear words
