I Know What You Did Last Summer

Lois Duncan

978-0330293617, RRP £3.99, Paperback
14+ Secondary/Adult
Buy "I Know What You Did Last Summer (Horizons)" on Amazon

Lois Duncan is a consummate artist who sure knows how to create suspense. The arrival of a note bearing the title of the novel, along with a few well-sprinkled hints, leaves her readers as gripped and involved in Julie James's dilemma as the victim is herself. Then the tension mounts as Julie's friends Ray, Helen and Barry are implicated and their secret past is relentlessly, revengefully imposing itself on their present. Slowly the facts unpeel and nemesis starts to take over when Barry is shot and the red herrings swim liberally until finally... There's a bit of romance here and the pace is slick. It should provoke interest and enthusiasm in older readers.
