But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. <P> The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder. The two interwoven mysteries of this first book in the Truly Devious series dovetail brilliantly, and Stevie Bell will continue her relentless quest for the murderers in books two and three.
