Death at Morning House
"Johnson’s signature mix of wit and mystery shines in this compelling sapphic thriller. The secluded island setting—which is described to Marlowe as 'Death Disney World'—ratchets up suspense as narration deftly alternates between Marlowe’s self-deprecating reflections and flashbacks from 1932; the queer romance subplot adds warmth and depth." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A stand-alone sapphic mystery following two equally gripping time lines: the Ralston family deaths and Marlowe’s present-day sleuthing. Marlowe’s excellent memory and love of puzzles serve her well, while her self-deprecating, deadpan humor fills the narrative with quirky charm. Suspenseful, smartly executed, and hilarious." — Booklist (starred review) "Johnson successfully employs her well-known format of alternating chapters between the past and the present, dropping her detective into a diverse and dynamic friend group, and hinting at some of the dark secrets of America’s past (here including eugenics). Marlowe’s self-deprecating first-person voice provides a compelling contrast to Stevie Bell’s sardonic tone. Might there ever be a Marlowe/Stevie mash-up? This reviewer remains hopeful."” — Horn Book (starred review) "Johnson’s latest juxtaposes Marlowe’s clever, funny first-person voice with chapters about a mysterious historical family. Compelling mysteries unfurl in the past and the present. Marlowe serves as an anchor amid the many contemporary characters who seem like they may be deceiving her, keeping readers guessing. An engaging and expansive mystery." — Kirkus Reviews "With quips both humorous and prescient, Marlowe is the perfect mix of pluck and wit, and she joins the long line of girl detectives looking to right the world’s various wrongs . . . A guaranteed hit with fans of Tess Sharpe’s The Girls I’ve Been or Durst’s The Lake House." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books " . . . it is endearing, awkward, kind Marlowe who drives this narrative; readers can’t help but root for her . . . An enjoyable, fast-paced read. VERDICT A fun, thrilling mystery than spans almost a century, and a must-read for mystery fans." — School Library Journal “Death at Morning House is another phenomenal mystery from a maestro in the genre. Maureen Johnson just knows how to write the kind of stories that keep you reading until the early hours. They are incredibly well paced, with stellar characterisation and terrifyingly good twists. This is a great standalone mystery from Johnson—pivoting across two timelines to create two compelling and complex cases. Death at Morning House is the YA mystery of the summer, potentially the year. Miss it at your peril." — The Nerd Daily Praise for NINE LIARS: "The exploration of the importance of friendship adds emotional vulnerability to this book, which has a well-developed sense of place and features the series’ signature humor and layered mystery elements. Immersive and genre-savvy." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A scintillating mystery. Johnson delivers a meticulously crafted fair-play mystery that gratifies as a standalone while also forwarding the richly textured characters’ arcs, a treat for fans of the series. Distinctly written flashbacks to 1995 pepper the present-day narrative, creating resonance and investing readers in Stevie’s case. Stevie cues as white; the supporting cast is intersectionally diverse." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Johnson delivers another satisfying mystery, with diverse characters, authentic depictions of mental health, and friends holding one another accountable for their actions in loving, supportive ways." — School Library Journal Praise for THE BOX IN THE WOODS: "Johnson’s hallmark charming humor and lovable characters provide a robust foundation for another cracking mystery, this time ingeniously working with summer camp and locked room mystery tropes. Stevie’s relationship with her lifelong anxiety is particularly well portrayed. A fantastic stand-alone mystery companion revisits a much-loved sleuth." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "While fans of Johnson's Truly Devious trilogy (and there are many) will undoubtedly be eager for this spinoff, Stevie's summertime exploit both stands alone and adds compelling layers to the established characters—an impressive feat. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Johnson builds on the success of her NYT-bestselling Truly Devious series with this standalone spinoff that blends mystery and horror conventions in a summer-camp setting—perfectly timed for summertime campfires." — Booklist (starred review) "Johnson gleefully takes a stab at the slasher movie trope by sending her teen detective on a cold case at a summer camp. This satisfying standalone mystery will delight fans of teen horror flicks and true-crime documentaries, as well as those who prefer their mysteries wrapped up after one volume. Here’s hoping this highly entertaining volume isn’t the last we hear from Stevie Bell." — Horn Book Magazine Praise for TRULY DEVIOUS: “Be still, my Agatha-Christie-loving beating heart.” — Bustle “Jumping between past and present, Johnson’s novel is deliciously atmospheric, with a sprawling cast of complex suspects/potential victims, surprising twists, and a dash of romance. As in her Shades of London books, Johnson remains a master at combining jittery tension with sharp, laugh-out-loud observations.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Remember the first time reading Harry Potter and knowing it was something special? There’s that same sense of magic in the introduction of teen Sherlock-in-training Stevie Bell. Parallel mysteries unfold with cleverly written dialogue, page-turning brilliance and a young sleuth just as captivating as Hercule Poirot.” — USA Today (four stars) Praise for THE VANISHING STAIR: “In this second . . . installment, Johnson gives and she takes away: a few major mysteries are satisfying solved, but other long-standing riddles remain tantalizingly indecipherable, and several new ones come into play by the enigmatic end. Readers, hang tight: there’s one more round to come, and if the signs are right, it’ll be to die for.” — Booklist "Ramps up the intrigue. Throughout this volume, Johnson's compelling would-be Sherlock proves to be as bad at personal relationships as she is adept at solving mysteries. Teen angst soars as Johnson delightfully conjures up more nefarious deeds from the mountain mist." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Take it from the world’s most impatient reader: If the Truly Devious series is basically one long mystery book, The Vanishing Stair is a middle part so enjoyable you won’t even want to skip to the end.” — Entertainment Weekly Praise for THE HAND ON THE WALL: "The final, riveting chapter of the Truly Devious murder series. Throughout this intricately woven, fast-paced whodunit, Johnson demonstrates how proximity to wealth and power can mold and bend one's behavior, whether with good or—here largely—devious intent. The brainy secondary characters' quirky talents and interests complement Stevie's sleuthing skills; . . . they include diversity in socioeconomic background, mental health challenges, physical disability, and sexual orientation. A richly satisfying, Poirot-like ending for Johnson's inspired and inspiring teen sleuth." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "In this hotly anticipated trilogy finale, Johnson pulls out all the stops, filling the thrillingly nimble narrative with classic mystery conventions. A striking foray into an examination of what mysteries can ever truly be solved, and a satisfying send-off for a series that will be missed." — Booklist "This will be essential reading for the many fans of the first two books. This trilogy ender is fun, satisfying, and a genuine treat for teens and adult mystery fans." — School Library Journal

Death at Morning House
"Ich glaube, dieser Tod in Morning House war ein Mord." Nachdem Marlowe wegen einer explodierenden Kerze aus Versehen das Haus ihrer Nachbarn niederbrennt und zum Gespött der Stadt wird, nimmt sie einen Ferienjob auf einer abgelegenen Insel an. Gemeinsam mit einer Gruppe anderer Teenager soll sie Führungen durch eine alte verfallene Villa anbieten. Doch die Idylle bleibt nicht lange so sonnig, denn schon bald wirft die Vergangenheit einen düsteren Schatten über die Insel. In den Dreißigerjahren hat dort ein Arzt mit seinen Adoptivkindern gelebt, bis sie nach einer Tragödie das Anwesen verlassen haben und nie zurückgekehrt sind. Zunehmend vermischt sich Früher mit Heute, Spekulation mit Verdacht - und die tödlichen Gefahren der Insel sind keineswegs Geschichte. Spannender Mystery-Thriller von New York Times-Bestsellerautorin Maureen Johnson 'Spannend, intelligent umgesetzt und urkomisch.' - Booklist
