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.<br \/>\nTrue-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.

Science has helped her fit the puzzle pieces into an understandable whole, and she\u2019s sure there\u2019s nothing it can\u2019t explain. Love, for example, is just chemistry.<br \/>\nHer best friend Seth, however, believes love is one of life\u2019s beautiful and chaotic mysteries, without need for explanation. Iris isn\u2019t one to back down from a challenge; she\u2019s determined to prove love is really nothing more than hormones and external stimuli. After all, science has allowed humanity to understand more complex mysteries than that, and Iris excels at science.<br \/>\nThe perfect way to test her theory? Get the popular and newly-single Theo Grant, who doesn\u2019t even know Iris exists, to ask her to prom. With prom just two weeks away, Iris doesn\u2019t have any time to waste, so she turns her keen empirical talents and laser-focus attention to testing her theory.<br \/>\nBut will proving herself correct cause her friendship with Seth\u2014and the tantalizing possibility for something more\u2014to become the failed experiment?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-04-06T04:00:52+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is BOOKS I'D GLADLY THROW IN THE OCEAN!\\u00a0\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nHappy Tuesday!
