When a accident forces Phyllis to stay alone at a lake cabin, she isn't afraid - at first. Her new friend David, a local boy, visits her every day. And Ron, the smooth young man in the next cabin, is very attentive.
But the sound of a helicopter landing at night, and a stranger with a gun, convince Phyllis that Ron is involved in deep trouble. Soon she's caught in a sinister plot, a prisoner of her own suspicions. She's seen too much - and unless help arrives at the last minute, she'll never escape alive!
It was obvious from early in the story exactly which young man couldn't be trusted. Even though I already knew where the plot would go, the story was still very suspenseful. The last part of the story is more what one would expect from a boy's book with grave danger as Phyllis is held captive.
This is a very good book.
Jennifer loves her summer job helping the record critic of the local paper. Through work, she meets two terrific boys - Billy, the fun-loving manager of a local rock group and Ken, the main source of information for her first big story.
But now, strange thefts haunt the newsroom; a mysterious death plagues Jen's budding story, and Ken warns her to get off the story and stay off! Suddenly, the cub reporter is in over her head in a whirl of crime and danger where she had hoped to find romance.
Suspicion was cast on both boys in this book, but it was apparent to me from early in the story which one was the culprit. That did not reduce my enjoyment of the book at all.
This is an excellent story.
