Fatal Secrets by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Jill and Becky are feeling Christmassy and getting wrapped up in an insidious plot with Ryan and her multiple love interests, in Richie Tankersley Cusick's Fatal Secrets (1992). There's icy death traps, a quaint old toy shop and a scary Santa Claus all ready to bring the chill to the holidays. Who's the creep in the ski mask? Will Ryan discover her dead sister's secret before it's too late? And how ARE you supposed to treat someone with concussion? We find out!

FYI it gets a bit sweary so even though Point Horror books are suitable for younger readers, our podcast might not be.

Becky and Jill have time-traveled back to the year when Ziggy Stardust hung up his platforms and Sergeant Howie kept his inevitable date with The Wicker Man, to investigate Pamela Sykes' memorably unsettling novel COME BACK LUCY (1973).

In 1978, an award-winning TV show based on the book came out, and it has just been released on DVD. We recorded a special episode of our podcast to appear as a special feature, and here you can hear a snippet of that chat.
