Review: The Velvet Knife

The Velvet Knife The Velvet Knife by Maureen Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maureen Johnson returns to the world of Truly Devious after a long hiatus, back from London with Stevie having a terribly broken heart, and it’s impacting her studies too. So she throws herself into another mystery, this one involving a secret showbiz cult in 1970s NYC. Set largely in one apartment building, and involving a foul mouthed parrot, it’s hard not to see this as Johnson’s version of Only Murders in the Building, though it’s definitely a good return to form after how monumentally disappointing Nine Liars was.
