Editorial Reviews

Michael's sequel to Deceptions, in which an identical twin who has taken over her dead sister's identity learns that her twin may still be alive, spent two weeks on PW's bestseller list.

From Booklist

Michael further entangles the plot begun in her novel Deceptions (1982), about identical twins who decide to switch lives. In that novel, Stephanie, a mother of two children and wife to a professor in Evanston, Illinois, envied her sister Sabrina's glamorous life as an antique dealer in London, and begged for the change. Here, Stephanie's reported death in a yacht sinking leaves Sabrina caught up in her role. Falling in love with and marrying Stephanie's husband seals that fate. This new novel has a dual setting: Sabrina's contented home life in Evanston (marred only by the children's adolescent crises and a congressional witch-hunt involving her spouse's university) and a small town in France, where Stephanie is gradually regaining her memory and living with her "husband" Max, a counterfeiter and smuggler. This plot is tangled, indeed. But the suspense of how these sisters and their loved ones can possibly emerge unscathed from such a fine mess is tightly drawn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Passion, Intrigue, Exotic Locations, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Tangled Web (Mass Market Paperback)

A Tangled Web gives us an extended view into the lives of Stephanie, Sabrina and Garth. The authors continue with the wonderful character development of twins, Stephanie and Sabrina, who switched places in the first novel, Deceptions. This time, we visit the lovely south of France to learn about Stephanie's struggles with amnesia (yes, another soap opera plot, but well-written). The theme again is how strong the bond between twins can be. The romance between Sabrina and Garth, now husband and wife, is Judith Michael's ode to marriage. The children, Penny and Cliff, complete the domestic scene. There is intrigue on the international scale as Stephanie and Max hide from black market hit men and at the more local level in the scientific community as Garth and Sabrina fight to protect Garth's position as a researcher. Worth the read for descriptions of Provence and character sketches of a fictional European elite, A Tangled Web is a good sequel to Deceptions for those who wanted to share more time with Sabrina and Garth.

This review is from: A Tangled Web (Mass Market Paperback)

I really,really enjoyed reading this book. Wow I could not put it down or sleep all night, or just have a spare moment..The book is full of suspense, surprises, love, tears, and cries.Everything that a good book must have. The characters come so alive as you read more and more and you either hate one of them or love them both. It's a must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sequel, September 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: A Tangled Web (Mass Market Paperback)

Usually sequels do not make good reads. A Tangled Web is an exception to this rule. This book is quick paced enough to be finished in three days. Yet when it's over you regret that you finished it! Go ahead and get it now. You will not be disappointed.
