WICKED GAME by Lisa Jackson

"A page-turner of a thriller with tons of gripping suspense."

Genres: Suspense | Thriller

Posted: January 15, 2009

For Becca Sutcliff, a widow rather than a divorcee by mere happenstance, gathering with her old high school friends is no pleasure trip down memory lane. Rather, the discovery of a body on the grounds of their former school has drawn them together again to speculate on whether the remains could belong to Jessie Brentwood. Their high school wild-child friend had supposedly run away when they were teenagers, but the possibility exists that she did not run very far.

For the adults who used to know her, the discovery of what might be Jessie's bones has disrupted their lives with turmoil. For Becca, she has to face her feelings for Jessie's former boyfriend and the true nature of her connection to Jessie's inner circle of friends. Quickly, the turmoil created by the discovery appears to have deeper implications than whether a troubled young woman ran away or was murdered, as accidents plague the group.

A page-turner of a thriller, WICKED GAME is like candy for the reader who loved Christopher Pike as a teenager or who, as an adult, enjoys Mary Higgins Clark.

Book Summary

ONE BY ONE, THEY’LL DIE…
Twenty years ago, wild child Jessie Brentwood vanished from St. Elizabeth’s high school. Most in Jessie’s tight circle of friends believed she simply ran away. Few suspected that Jessie was hiding a shocking secret—one that brought her into the crosshairs of a vicious killer…

UNTIL THERE’S NO ONE LEFT…
Two decades pass before a body is unearthed on school grounds and Jessie’s old friends reunite to talk. Most are sure that the body is Jessie’s, that the mystery of what happened to her has finally been solved. But soon, Jessie’s friends each begin to die in horrible, freak accidents that defy explanation…

BUT HER…
Becca Sutcliff has been haunted for years by unsettling visions of Jessie, certain her friend met with a grisly end. Now the latest deaths have her rattled. Becca can sense that an evil force is shadowing her too, waiting for just the right moment to strike. She feels like she’s going crazy. Is it all a coincidence—or has Jessie’s killer finally returned to finish what was started all those years ago?
