Rezension von AliciaThis is the final book to the series about the Ellingham Case. Stevie is a very likeable character although in this book she made quite a few selfish and dangerous decisions wich had me at the edge of my seat sometimes but I guess she is a teenager who doesn’t always do the most reasonable thing. Throughout the series a lot of people die and it doesn’t stop in this book. While the Ellingham Case from the 1930s is told very grippingly and the storylines are slowly starting to make sense, the deaths in the present seem to lack this kind of connection. Even though Stevie solves everything in the end, the explanations for the present deaths were all a bit vague and not as clearly proven. To me, this could have been a bit more in depth and detailled. It gave me the impression that Maureen Johnson might just overdid herself a tiny bit here and struggled pulling everything together in the end. But still, it was a very entertaining story and hat me devouring all three books within two weeks. I am happy to know that there are more books about Stevie and I will most definitely read them aswell!

Rezension von Fredi Wow Dieses Buch hat mich auf jeden Fall nicht enttäuscht. Hab das Gefühl das sich die Spannung über die ganze Reihe immer weiter gesteigert hat und in diesem Teil wirklich auf ihrem Höhepunkt war. Es gab super viele Plot Twist und immer neues… Und ganz wichtig auch ein Happy End! Bin richtig zufrieden mit der Reihe. Vor allem weil ich anfangs noch nicht so überzeugt war
