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.

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!

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.

WOW i really dont like to read but after this i love it! This book was so interesting..i love how she kept the suspense up...it was a little confusing with everything that was goin on but in the end i was in shock to find out what happened...i engourage u to read it even if you dont like to read!

I rate this book five stars because of its great mystery. The book is about a daughter and her mom. The mom was a journalist, she was the one who mostly started the mystery. One night Katie ( the daughter) heard some noises coming fom outside, she got out of bed to see who or what it was. If you want to know who or what it was read the book Shadowmaker. The part I like in the book is when Katie heard the noises because I like the temptation of wanting to know what will happen. What I didn't like is the book moved alone to slow.

A mystery that you will not be able to put down. It is about a girl, Katie, who's mom wants to write a novel and moves from Houston to Texas. Katies mom is also a reporter for the newspaper. When they are all settled in at Houston, they notice people prowling around their yard at night. They call the police more than once and they are never able to catch the shadowmakers. One night, Katie gets news about her friend who was murdered. Who murdered Lana Jean? Read this to find out.

I think the way that Joan captured the pain that Katie and her mom went through living in this town was as if she was really living through as if it were her.And how she was able to describe the boys mischief and what they did to torment everyone.And how she put detail into all the murders. Out of all the books she has ever written i think this is the best in detail and in realism.

I think that this book was great. I love the way that Joan Lowery Nixon writes. I have also read The name of the game was murder, and I loved them both. I would recomend this book to everybody.

Katie moves to a new town and trouble starts to brew in her neighborhood. Someone in the night comes and tries to get into the house. She goes to school and meets a girl who has trouble in the class she is good at so she assigned Katie to help her. They meet one day and Katie learns why she neeeds help all she can talk about is a boy named Travis who is in the Bliz club. Katie gives her ideas about another thing she could write about. Then the girl asks if she wants to go to a carnival with her. Katie says yes and they go to the carnival and the girl spots Travis. She leaves and follows Travis. Katie finds another one of her fiendsto hang out with. When she is about to leave she remembers teh girl she came with. She goes to find her when she does they leave. the next morning they here a carnival worker was shot. Then her friend goes missing. They can not find her.

This book was great and each chapter left me with a cliffhanger! I couldn't wait to read more of the book. It was awesome! I loved it! Nixon did a great job!
