On April Fools Day three teenagers are involved in a road rage incident which ends in a flaming wreck for the other car. Two of them convince the other one (Belinda) not to help save the victims but to flee the scene. To make matters worse, Belinda is sure she saw someone standing at the top of the hill, watching them.

Two weeks later a guilt stricken Belinda receives a bloody dolls head. She has volunteered to tutor the son of a family who she later suspects are the victims. Scared, she contemplates confessing as more gruesome pranks occur. She doesn't know who is messing with her mind. Is it her friends, the family or someone else?

From Back Cover:
On the night of April 1st, Belinda, Frank and Hildy are driving home from a party when they get involved in a gruesome car accident. The people in the other car never could have survived the wreck, so Frank insists they take off. After all, wasn't really their fault. Two weeks later, Belinda is the only one who still feels guilty about the accident. Then the "pranks" begin. Someone sends her a bloody dolls head. A car nearly runs her off the road. Obviously someone witnessed or survived that car accident. And they are going to make her pay...slowly...for what happened. April Fools Day is over. But these jokes are for real.

A horrible April Fools Day joke goes terribly wrong. The jokes just keep coming in a very murderous way.
I liked this old Point Horror as well. I didn't figure out the killer till it was actually revealed in the end. You'll have your suspicions though and you may just be right....or not. Loved it!
