The Friends of Foster Care

Vesper is seventeen and has spent much of her teenage years in foster care, often left with unanswered questions about her childhood and the many moves she has experienced. Sharp, observant, and naturally curious, she loves reading mystery novels and hopes to one day become a detective or investigative journalist. As she works toward finishing school and preparing for independence, she continues to dream of finding answers and helping others do the same.

Vesper reads like a detective, hunting for clues, guessing at motives, and trying to get to the answer before the author reveals it. Truly Devious follows an aspiring investigator at a prestigious boarding school who becomes fascinated with a decades-old unsolved crime, and it is exactly the kind of layered, twisty story Vesper loves to get lost in. A book of her very own means she can mark it up, add to her case file, and read it again and again whenever the nights feel long.
