A high schooler suspects that a tragic roller coaster crash wasn't an accident

If it weren't for the Boardwalk, the small town of Santa Luisa might disappear altogether. The amusement park employs half the town's workers, pulls in tourists, and gives teenagers like Tess Landers someplace to hang out on the weekends. Tess is eating a hot dog when the Boardwalk's roller coasterâ??the Devil's Elbowâ??jumps the track, hangs for a moment in the air, and then plummets to the ground. One of Tess's classmates is dead on impact, two are forever maimed, and over twenty others are taken to the hospital. It's the worst tragedy Santa Luisa has ever seen, but it's only the beginning.

As people rush to help, Tess spies a black-suited figure running away from the crowd. The crash was no accident. Five more teens will suffer before the killer is through, and Tess may be about to put herself on the list of victims.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Diane Hoh including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection… (mehr)

I enjoyed this 90's teen horror. It was a fast read that kept me guessing. My only complaint is that there are so many characters that we really don't get to know any of them that well to help figure out who the killer is. I did like that we had POV chapters from the killer and the diary in the attic was a nice touch. A good amusement park horror book. ( )

Seventeen-year-old Tess Landers is hanging out with many school friends at the amusement park on The Boardwalk, in Santa Luisa, California. After she stops in the ladies restroom she comes back out and watches the rollercoaster go up the track (with three of her friends on board). To her horror she sees it fly off the track and crash before her eyes, killing and maiming many on board, including three of her friends. She tells the friends she’s with that she noticed someone that looked suspicious underneath the rollercoaster, dressed in black, quickly slip away after the crash, not coming to help, but going in the other direction. Tess is pretty shook up, but she eventually goes home. She lives at an exclusive condominium complex with her stepmother, Shelley, who is now divorcing Tess's father. But Shelley just took a trip to Europe so Tess is now all alone in the apartment. That night, someone slips a threatening note under her door.

After this, more accidents keep happening---all to her friends, and all at The Boardwalk. Tess is also receiving more threats, menacing phone calls, notes... She tells the police but they don’t take her seriously. Why is someone targeting her friends? And why The Boardwalk?

I really enjoyed this book. I liked Tess and I liked the settings---The Boardwalk, the amusement park, etc... This was a fun and entertaining young-adult suspense story from the 90's. A fast and easy read. ( )
