5.0 out of 5 stars The scariest book I ever read, it gave me the creeps, October 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadowmaker (Law at Work) (Mass Market Paperback)

If you are a person who loves bonechilling mysteries with terror and suspense, you'll really love this book. Once you read one of Joan Lowery Nixon's books, you can't stop. This one in particular was probobly her best. In this book she gives you all the details, all the clues, all the suspects, and a surprising and frightful end. You can not put this book down, any spare time you have is definitely going to be spent reading this book. One word of caution: do not read "Shadowmaker" in bed at night. It's so good and so nerve-racking it made me sleep with the door open and the lights on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, January 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadowmaker (Law at Work) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was emotional and phyciological book which twisted and turned you. It starts that Katie hates living in Kluney so when she and Lana Jean go to the carnival things happen. A carnival worker is killed, then Lana Jean is murdered. Katie's confused and along with her mother's investigations she doesn't know what to do. Nixon takes the book from there and weaves you into a believable story that could happen. A very good book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Mystery Book, June 2, 2005

Gadi Singer (Cupertino, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shadowmaker (Law at Work) (Mass Market Paperback)

Katie Gillian is a teenaged girl who moved to a little town in Texas with her mother. Katie was expecting to spend several months in a new school, with a few friends and little excitement. What she experienced instead was far from boring. This story includes crimes, murders, and adventures that are guaranteed to keep you at the edge of your seat. You are following Katie and her mother as they each solve a different mystery.

I loved the book and gave it five stars. The plot was great, and I could not put it down. I also liked the character Katie and the way she was real but also very brave. The author did a good job including surprises in many points in the story, and you only get to see the unexpected answer at the very end. "Shadowmaker" is an outstanding mystery book, and I highly recommend reading it.
