The kidnappers sent a mocking riddle signed Truly, Devious. She’s come to Ellingham Academy, which is one of America’s most prestigious and unusual schools, with the hopes of solving the 1936 kidnapping of the founder’s wife and daughter.

I wanted to make a proper game that readers could play along with. I wanted to take some of the things I love and have loved about many mystery novels-like the remote mansion as both setting and character, the amateur detective, the analogue clues that you can touch and see. Maureen: The story comes out of my love of mystery and out of some classic crime cases. Aurora: What was your inspiration behind your most recent novel?
