The key features often include a complex mystery that keeps readers guessing. There's a teenage detective at the center, which makes it relatable for young readers. The plot likely has twists and turns to keep the suspense high.
It's hard to give an exact number. Different publishers and authors might have their own takes on what constitutes a truly devious novel, so it's quite variable.
One common theme is mystery. Since the original story is full of mysteries, fanfictions often continue this trend. Writers like to create new puzzles for Stevie and David to solve.
One great piece of 'Stevie and David Truly Devious' fanfiction is 'The Hidden Clues' which delves deeper into their mystery - solving adventures at Ellingham Academy. It has some really interesting character interactions.
" Detective Squad " was a classic Japanese mystery novel written by Edogawa Rampo. This series depicted the story of the great detective, Kogoro Akechi, and a group of young detective members fighting with criminals. This novel had been popular for more than 80 years and was considered one of the classic children's books to establish the correct value orientation for children. However, if you are looking for other Japanese detective novels, I am sorry to say that I cannot find any relevant information in the search results provided.
One of the best is 'The Mysterious Benedict Society' by Trenton Lee Stewart. It follows a group of gifted children who are recruited to go on a secret mission filled with puzzles and mysteries. Another great one is 'Nancy Drew' series. It has been popular for decades, with Nancy always solving crimes and getting to the bottom of mysteries in her town. And 'The Westing Game' by Ellen Raskin is also a classic. It involves a group of heirs competing to solve the mystery of Sam Westing's will.
I recommend the following teenage detective novels to you:
Bloodthirsty Girl: Blue-eyed Uncle Is So Loveable and Mysterious Girl Exorcist were both mystery detective novels that were very suitable for readers who liked teenage detectives.
In addition,"A First-string Murderer" and "Murder Chasing Girl" were also very good detective novels. The main characters were brave and strong girls, and the reasoning process was very interesting.
I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~๐
