Review:

Despite the difference from book to movie with the movie adaptation adding in more horror scenes this was very good. It's filled with plenty of drama and suspense.

The story follows Julie James, Ray Brunson, Helen Shivers and Barry Cox as they deal with the consequences of a terrible act that they committed. Although it was an accident, everything that happened afterwards were choices (mainly bad ones) that they made.

Those choices left forgotten for a year, was suddenly being brought to forefront by someone who knows what happened and is going after them with a vengeance.

It's a race for them to figure out who is behind this as they come to terms with what they did.

I enjoyed reading this (even with the groovy 70s slang that was hilarious), I thought the author did a splendid job of creating a creepy setting while keeping the suspense going.

I have another Lois Duncan book that I found at the thrift store, I hope it will be as good a read as this one.
