3.0 out of 5 stars Not one of her best, October 15, 2000

Kate "Kate" (Monroeville, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Search the Shadows (Paperback)

I don't think I've ever read a Barbara Michaels book that I didn't like, but this was definitely not one of her best efforts. I know Ms. Michaels holds a Ph.D. in Egyptology and the back cover blurb led me to believe this storyline would pertain to Egypt, but it did so only in a minor way. We follow 22 year old Haskell on her search to find out who her real father was and also to learn the truth about her mother's mysterious death when Haskell was an infant. The ending is a surprise, as was which of the several men pursuing Haskell that she picks, but getting there took a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Queen of gothic suspense, February 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Search the shadows

Barabara Michaels is my favorite author. In this book, as in all her others, she blends suspense and romance without gore or graphic sexual exploits. Her heroines are always intelligent, independent, and memorable. Always a good bedtime read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read!, July 30, 2003

Amy Sanders (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Search the Shadows (Paperback)

This was a good book. I love romantic/suspense, mystery storylines and this one kept your attention through to the end. I love a good surprise ending too! My favorite author is Sherry A. Mauro, another great storyteller of romantic/suspense but now I'm adding Ms. Michaels to my list!

3.0 out of 5 stars seemed tedious instead of suspenseful
I've read and enjoyed many of Barbara Michael's books, but this one just never seemed to pick up much momentum until the climax of the story. Read more

An interesting, absorbing mystery. Not always psychologically believable, but always diverting, and isn't that the point?
