Great Read

This book is one of my favorites from Barbara Michaels. It's discriptive and enthralling. A great read, especially for fans of mysteries.

Queen of gothic suspense

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.

A Book That Can Not Leave Your Hand

This book was amazing, I could not put it down. Not even for a minute. It took me less than two weeks to read it all. The main character Haskell is a young 22 year old woman in search for her real Father, and the mysterious death of Leah, her mother. Once you think you have the answers, you will be surprised. The ending was good, surprising, but good. Haskell rules in this book , just because she survives alot. I reccommend this book to anyone. I am an avid Stephen King fan, and now I am a fan of this author, Barbara Michaels is a terric writer, I am going to look for another book by her now. WOW WHAT A BOOK !!!!

Not especially super, but a good book all the same.

Though I love Barbara Michaels books, this is not one of my favorites. It is fascinating though, and the character developement is better than in some of the other books. The ending is certainly a shocker, though not as much as some of her books. I would certainly recommend it, but if you really want a tricky ending or a truly satisfying read, try INTO THE DARKNESS or WINGS OF THE FALCON

The best romance novel of the decade still in print.

Barbara Michael's "Search the Shadows" is undoubtedly the best romance novel written in the past decade. While blatantly escaping all references to real problems, such as drugs, overpopulation, the economy, etc., Ms. Michaels manages to remind us of the very hidden truths that can be found even in the most obvious of plots, but which become apparent only at the end. Without giving the ending away, we see that the main driving force for many of the events that occur in the story is, of course, greed, and villains become heroes just before your eyes. A MUST!
