Resumen del Editor

An instant New York Times and Indie bestseller!

From the bestselling author of the Truly Devious books, Maureen Johnson, comes a new stand-alone YA about a teen who uncovers a mystery while working as a tour guide on an island and must solve it before history repeats itself.

The fire wasn’t Marlowe Wexler’s fault. Dates should be hot, but not hot enough to warrant literal firefighters. Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist.

With her house-sitting career up in flames, it seems the universe owes Marlowe a new summer job, and that’s how she ends up at Morning House, a mansion built on an island in the 1920s and abandoned shortly thereafter. It’s easy enough, giving tours. Low risk of fire. High chance of getting bored talking about stained glass and nut cutlets and Prohibition.

Oh, and the deaths. Did anyone mention the deaths?

Maybe this job isn’t such a gift after all. Morning House has a horrific secret that’s been buried for decades, and now the person who brought her here is missing.

All it takes is one clue to set off a catastrophic chain of events. One small detail, just like a spark, could burn it all down—if someone doesn’t bury Marlowe first.

Fun!

I love the way Maureen Johnson weaves a contemporary mystery with a historical one. I didn’t love these characters quite as much as the Stevie series, but still really enjoyed it. Would recommend.

Great Stand Alone Novel

Maureen Johnson’s Truly Devious Series is one of my absolute favorites; I recommend the original trilogy to any and everyone. This didn’t quite live up, but was still a really great story. I love the dual storytelling, and she gave us another fun and quirky main character.

Maureen Johnson does it again

I love the unwraveljng of the mysteries past and present that are a Maureen Johnson staple. I also love the inclusion of diverse characters especially non-binary characters in a normalizing way -same with race and sexuality! Thank you Maureen

Maureen Johnson does it again.

After ready all the Truly Devious books, I was pumped that MJ had a new book out for me to devour. This one did not disappoint! I like the format of a mystery in the past and a mystery in the present. Makes it so interesting to get 2 mysteries solved in the end. At first, all the character names in past and present were slightly confusing but that goes away after the first few chapters. I love how MJ weaves in real history and hints at modern current events as well. Great book, easy read, entertaining. Highly recommend.

Disappointing

I am a fan of the truly devious series, and this was more of the same tropes: a mystery and murder in the past and a mystery and murder in the present with teenage protagonists. Unfortunately, the characters are not compelling. They all come across as snarky sociopaths, especially the main character. I know the author was trying to convey an awkward, sarcastic person who is coming into themselves, but instead, the main character just comes across as completely unfeeling. It’s made me wonder if the author is a bit of a sociopath since there is no consideration or thought towards the people who are killed. I also don’t see the characters exchanging any kind of simple niceties such as saying thank you. There are no stakes because these aren’t real people. I also found the narrator kind of grating. If there is going to be another entry in the truly devious series, I hope the Johnson will return to form because this was not good at all.

An entertaining double mystery

Both the mystery in the past and the mystery in the present held my interest and kept me listening. Both reveals could have been foreshadowed a bit more; I would have liked to have more hints about the killers’ motives in advance so I’d be suspicious, plus more red herrings to make me doubt those suspicions. But it wasn’t completely predictable, so it was still a good read and had some good suspense.

Very Mediocre at best

I really enjoyed the setting and got hooked early on by the idea of a hidden treasure and wanting to know who killed Max. I also loved the way the story was written with the Ralston family’s story weaved into present time. However, I found Marlowe’s side commentary pretty annoying. It also became so unrealistic that these kids would be sitting in a house with a fire burning above them. The ending was so anticlimactic that I was actually annoyed by it.

Couldn’t stop listening

This book was amazing, Johnson seamlessly wove past and present into a gripping story. The reader was excellent. Well worth my monthly credit.
