The April Fool Robert J. Fields

Five murders have been committed, one every April Fool's Day. Ashley Gable didn't give any thought to the murders until the fifth was committed. The first four victims were random, but the last was her boyfriend. Was his murder just a random occurrence? It doesn't seem so when Ashley's sister, Calli, is murdered on the sixth April Fool's Day. But the killer didn't stop there. Ashley is stabbed and left for dead, but she lives knowing that the killer will strike again. One year has passed quickly and Ashley starts to receive menacing notes while at school. She knows the killer means to finish what was started last year. In time, she is confronted by the killer dressed in a jester costume and wielding a sharp dagger. Ashley survives the encounter, but meets the killer again over the course of the school day. With each confrontation, however, Ashley manages to remain alive. But one of her closest friends ends up dying along the way. This drives Ashley to want to know who the April Fool's Day killer is, and the motive behind the yearly madness. But when Ashley finally discovers the identity of the killer, she also learns what the real April Fool's Day joke really is. Will she survive long enough to be able to recover - if at all?!
