TRULY DEVIOUS

Be prepared to be lured into an audio mystery that kicks off a trilogy. Narrator Kate Rudd breathes life into protagonist Stevie Bell, a quirky student at elite Ellington Academy. Stevie is an inquisitive and articulate true- crime lover who is determined to solve a murder and kidnapping that occurred on campus in the 1930s. The story alternates between past and present and pulls listeners into the mysterious world of the school. Though talented at voicing the diverse female characters, Rudd struggles to differentiate the male characters, which can be frustrating for listeners. However, Stevie is a character listeners will want to root for, and the cliff-hanger ending sets the stage for the sequel. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2018]
