Podcasts about truly devious

Have you read Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson—or maybe even the whole series? In this May 2025 Book Club episode, we're diving into the twisty world of Ellingham Academy with Stevie Bell and company. But first, we kick things off with a Bookish Check-In. Ashley's reading Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune (yes, the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea), and Jen shares her thoughts on Nnedi Okorafor's Death of the Author. Then we dive into all things Truly Devious—what makes Stevie such a compelling protagonist, how Johnson balances multiple mysteries across timelines, and why this one's a must-read for fans of dark academia and character-driven whodunits. We wrap up with perfect book pairings, plus a few favorite things outside the reading life. Let us know what you thought about this one!

Today I got to talk with Maureen Johnson the mastermind behind the Truly Devious series and the new stand-alone mystery The Death At Morning House. We delve into Johnson's love of the genre both as a reader and a writer, why the setting an old historic house appealed to her and what it was like crafting a heroine in Marlowe Wexler!

In today's special episode, we're sitting down with #1 New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author, Maureen Johnson, to discuss her latest book, Death at Morning House!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?---Missed our episode on Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious?

#1 New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson is out with her first stand-alone mystery in many years! The life-longAgatha Christie aficionado, who has delighted countless critics and fans with her Truly Devious series featuring teen sleuth Stevie Bell, now offers DEATH AT MORNING HOUSE. Johnson's latest features Marlowe Wexler, a queer teen who unlike Stevie, is no detective. Heartbroken after a disastrous date, she finds herself in a summer job working at a grand but dilapidated house on an island in northern New York at the Canadian border. It's there she stumbles upon two mysteries— one in the present day and one kept concealed since the 1930s.

In this episode, we sit down for an interview with Maureen Johnson, the mastermind behind the best-selling Truly Devious series. We explore her latest YA mystery, Death at Morning House, set in the picturesque Thousand Islands of upstate New York. Maureen's signature wit and complex storytelling shine through in this novel, especially with Marlowe Wexler, the protagonist who has quickly won our hearts. We dive into Marlowe's endearing awkwardness, her romantic mishaps, and the intriguing blend of history and mystery that ties together the chilling secrets of Morning House. Plus, we discuss Maureen's passionate advocacy against book banning and why it's more important than ever.  Death at Morning House is out now wherever books are sold.

Hello everyone! In this episode I talk about my most recent read The Truly Devious Trilogy by Maureen Johnson. I really enjoyed this series and was blown away by the twists and turns it took, most times yelling out loud "What?!" I also talk about the documentary We Feed People available on Disney+ that follows the work of Jose Andes, a chef/humanitarian feeding people who have been marked by devastation. It's amazing.

Truly Devious by Maureen JohnsonStevie can't wait to get away from her parents – parents who don't share the same beliefs that she does. They work for a Senator that Stevie can't stand. So when she finds out about an old Cold Case – a murder that hasn't really ever been solved, and it is at a school – she decides she has nothing to lose and applies to it. However, Ellingham Academy is filled with students who are exceptional in some way. And Stevie isn't sure how she made it in. Other than the fact that she is pretty obsessed with the Ellingham murders.As she meets her house mates, two other girls and three boys, she wonders if she'll end up being true friends with any of them. Luckily, she was able to chat with two of them over the summer leading up to their arrival at the school, but still. As the school year gets underway, Stevie is fascinated to be at the place where the murders happened – or at least the kidnappings. She decides to make it her school project to solve the murders. But deciding something and doing it are two different things entirely!Recommended for grades 8 and up.

Ahoy, Captain Book is back! This week we are starting the book Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson. The book goes between a tragic kidnapping and murder at Ellingham Academy in 1936 and the uncomfortably awkward teenager Stevie Bell in 2017 who is trying to solve the case. Enjoy my summary of the first part of the book and my mispronunciation of most of the characters names.Read the book if you dare.https://amzn.to/3Bc7oQmIf you need a good laugh you can find me on social media:www.tiktok.com/@thejollyreaderpodcastwww.instagram.com/thejollyreaderpodcast/www.facebook.com/thejollyreaderpodcastIf you want to support The Jolly Reader you can donate, which goes towards buying new books and allows me to keep making new episodes.

Will these make it to the Island Library?- - - - Welcome to The Island Library podcast, where your hosts put a fun twist on the get-to-know-you-question by asking one another if the book they've read will take up a spot in their library if they were stranded on a desert island. Each week your hosts Laura and Jo answer that very question but, there are only ten spaces. Listen to them as they answer the dreaded question: 'Will this book make it on to your Island Library?' Please let us know your comments on these books at theislandlibrary@gmail.com, and any book recommendations, we'd love to hear them.

Whether she's writing London-set ghost stories, offbeat coming of age tales, or cold-case mysteries, Maureen Johnson's YA books are full of eccentric supporting characters, eerie and oddball twists, and deeply specific heroes and heroines. Her latest series began with last year's Truly Devious, combining a present-day riff on the manor house mystery with a 1930s-set cold case murder, both centering on isolated boarding school Ellingham Academy. Sequel The Vanishing Stair hits shelves January 22, and it will answer loads of your burning questions while raising many more. We talked to Johnson about plotting a mystery trilogy, working on a theater production in which everything went wrong, and her deep and abiding love for podcasts.
