The Hand on the Wall audiobook – Truly Devious, Book 3

In the cozy comfort of my bedroom, I embarked on a thrilling journey with The Hand on the Wall audiobook by Maureen Johnson. As the rain poured outside, I snuggled under my warm blanket, fully immersed in the suspenseful world of Ellingham Academy.

This final installment of the trilogy unravels the truth behind the mysterious Truly Devious who has been orchestrating all the chaos within the academy. Three deaths have shaken its inhabitants, leaving them plagued with doubt. The question looms: were these deaths accidents or cold-blooded murders? The first victim fell victim to a horrific prank gone wrong, resulting in a tragic demise.

The second death appeared to be an accident as well, but after the third tragedy, Stevie is determined to uncover the truth. Her personal connection to both her past and David’s fate drives her relentless pursuit of justice. Despite a looming storm that forces everyone else to flee the academy, Stevie refuses to abandon her mission.

Maureen Johnson delivers an exceptional conclusion to this gripping trilogy. After being captivated by Truly Devious and The Name of the Star, I was unsure if she could maintain the same level of intrigue and satisfaction – but she exceeded all expectations. The intricate plot twists and turns kept me on edge throughout.

Kate Rudd’s narration perfectly complements Johnson’s storytelling prowess. She effortlessly transitions between male and female voices, bringing each character to life with authenticity and emotion. It’s evident that Rudd relished in this challenge and truly embraced each role.

The nail-biting climax had me at the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting resolution. This finale is not for casual readers; it is best enjoyed by those who have followed every detail of this enthralling series. Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster ride of suspense and revelations that will leave you breathless.
