Handling:<\/strong> ”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. \u201cA place,\u201d he said, \u201cwhere learning is a game.\u201d

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 \u201cTruly, Devious.\u201d 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.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mina f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntningar p\u00e5 Truly Devious<\/em> var v\u00e4ldigt h\u00f6ga och tyv\u00e4rr blev jag besviken. Det h\u00e4r lovades vara en riktig sp\u00e4nnande YA med Dark Academia-tema. Handlingen l\u00e5ter n\u00e4ra p\u00e5 perfekt. Men f\u00f6r mig f\u00f6ll det totalt platt. Det b\u00f6rjar lovande med den mystiska Ellingham-skolan som har massor av mysiga hus och \u00e4r bel\u00e4gen l\u00e5ngt inne i skogen. Vackra tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rdar, statyer och hemliga g\u00e5ngar. Ellinghams grundare \u00e4r enormt rik och vill utbilda ”s\u00e4rskilda” elever med starka f\u00f6rm\u00e5gor. Till dem h\u00f6r huvudkarakt\u00e4rern Stevie Bell som \u00e4r besatt av true crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedan b\u00f6rjar det g\u00e5 utf\u00f6r. De andra karakt\u00e4rerna p\u00e5 Ellingham blir pappersdockor. F\u00f6rfattaren lyckas med att skildra \u00e5ngest verklighetstroget, men det k\u00e4ndes alltid malplacerat i handlingen, som om det var n\u00e5got som m\u00e5ste kl\u00e4mmas in. Jag f\u00e5r inget grepp om sj\u00e4lva skolan, det n\u00e4mns kort n\u00e5gra \u00e4mnen som de har men ingenting ut\u00f6ver det. Hela grejen att tycka om b\u00f6cker som utspelar sig p\u00e5 mystiska internatskolor \u00e4r ju att f\u00e5 sugas in i en mysig skolv\u00e4rld. Stevie och hennes kamrater i huset Minerva k\u00e4nns konstiga – som om de spelar i en pj\u00e4s. De pratar, men konversationerna \u00e4r f\u00f6r det mesta l\u00f6sryckta och karakt\u00e4rerna beter sig onaturligt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrigen \u00e4r s\u00e5 otroligt tunn! I de kapitel som skildrar f\u00f6rsvinnandet av Ellinghams fru och dotter p\u00e5 1930-talet var det som var intressant, nutiden var bara m\u00e4rklig. Stevie Bell verkar vara antagen till skolan f\u00f6r att ta reda p\u00e5 det ouppklarade fallet, men hur kan man bli antagen bara f\u00f6r att man \u00e4lskar true crime och slukar en massa poddar? Verkar v\u00e4ldigt osannolikt med tanke p\u00e5 att Mr. Ellingham var miljon\u00e4r, om inte miljard\u00e4r. F\u00f6rfattaren ville med andra ord skapa den h\u00e4r karakt\u00e4ren, \u00e4ven om det inte var s\u00e4rskilt logiskt. \u00c4nnu v\u00e4rre blir det n\u00e4r Stevie och hennes kompisar best\u00e4mmer sig f\u00f6r g\u00f6ra en teater d\u00e4r de ska spela in hur f\u00f6rsvinnandet kan ha g\u00e5tt till. S\u00e5 oerh\u00f6rt smakl\u00f6st! Underh\u00e5llning av en tragedi som drabbat Ellingham? Till sist ville jag inte ens veta vem Truly Devious var. Dessutom fick man inte veta s\u00e4rskilt mycket eftersom det h\u00e4r var f\u00f6rsta delen i en trilogi. Katastrof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
