They had been six teenage girls in Wheeling, West Virginia. Full of mischief. Acting wild. Having good times. And getting into trouble. they called themselves the Six of Hearts. Then one night things went to far. One of them died. The rest swore to never tell what really happened.

Now, thirteen years later, someone has decided to kill the remaining Six of hearts. The first to die is Angie, a successful New York City actress. And flower-shop owner Laurel Damron, still living in Wheeling, may be next. She has gotten a chilling message in the mail. She knows a killer is watching her. But who? Only by searching the past can she uncover a haunting truth...only by looking deep with herself can she uncover a lost memory...and only by suspecting everyone she knows, does she have one slim chance of staying alive...

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful!, February 27, 2000

This review is from: In the Event of My Death (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first time that I have read a book by this author and I loved it! It kept me up most of the night and believe me I made sure that my doors were locked before going to bed. I cannot wait to read her other books and only hope that they are as good as this one. I thought I knew who the killer was but was completely wrong!

5.0 out of 5 stars On the edge, December 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Event of My Death (Mass Market Paperback)

When I read the reviews that said it was like a Mary Higgins Clark book, I had second thoughts about reading it. She just does not impress me. But, luckily I did start reading it. Throughout the book, I was litteraly on the edge of my seat. Everytime I thought I had the killer figured out, the chapter would end and I was back where I started. Ms. Thompson made you think everyone was the killer, but threw something in to change your mind. This has got to be the best "who-dunnit" books in the market. I am now starting her newest book, "Don't Close Your Eyes". Please go out and buy it. you will not be dissapointed.

This review is from: In the Event of My Death (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was the very first one that I have read by this Author. I LOVED IT! I think this is one of the best who did it books that I have read. I was capitaved by the story from the minute I picked up the book until the very end and I was very sad that it ended. It was amazing how this book kept me in total suspense throwing loops and curves at me the whole time. Just when I thought I had it figured out something completely different happened. To tell you the truth the beginning of the book actually scared me a little bit. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read. I am on my way to the bookstore to get another one of her books!
