MY GRADE: B
FROM PUBLISHER: Jenny just wants to forget the man who murdered all the baby-sitters. The man who almost murdered her.
He's dead now. And Jenny's gone to visit her cousin Debra. But Debra has a baby-sitting job. And now she's getting those phone calls, too. Just like the ones Jenny used to get:
Hi, Babes. I'm back. Company's coming...
MY THOUGHTS: The third installment in The Babysitters series takes place a little over a year after the previous one ends. Jenny's in need of a change of scenery so she goes to stay with her teen cousin for the summer, and gets a job at a horse stable while she's there. Like the others in this series, there are quite a few characters in this one, some totally unnecessary, like ex-babysitter, Maggie, and Don.
Her cousin Debra's not that great of a person and likes to prank call a guy she likes and be flirtatious even though she's got a boyfriend. She was in this as much as Jenny was, so there were two main characters, which was nice for a change.
I never had an inkling as to who the villain could have been in this one and was truly surprised at the ending. I have to say this one was a bit less suspenseful than the previous two.
