A note for parents

Truly Devious is a dual-timeline mystery blending a present-day school story with a historical cold case investigation. The book features strong character development, LGBTQ+ representation, and positive themes around friendship and resilience, but also explores anxiety disorders, some violence, and mature themes of crime and trauma. Best suited for older teens who enjoy complex mysteries and don't mind darker emotional content.
