If you like your heros with a cigarette in one hand and a whiskey in the other, then this book is for you. I thought it was tedious and at least a decade out of date--maybe two decades--or more.
My Absolute Favorite book October 16, 2004

Shadows in the mist is my favorite book! Its a great cliff hanger, and has wonderful description. As you read through the book you relize how well the tital fits with the book. I like the poems at the beggining of each chapter, you have to give them some deep thought but once you do (and after you read that chapter) you see that the poem is kinda revealing something in that chapter! This is anouther book you just cant put down! My faimley has only had it for a couple months and i have already read at least 5 times. She describes stuff so good you feel like you are there. At the end of the book you relize how much thought she really put into it. The beggining and middle are deciving. Its going to be a very tough mystery to crack. But it has a GREAT ending!!!! If i could i would SO rate this mystery 100 points. -Jenna b.

I loved the books of Mary Stewart, especially The Moonspinners, Airs above the grounds etc. But now I have found an author with the same style (although more modern ofcourse). I started reading and could not stop! From the first chapter I was hooked. Suzanna goes home after her father has been found in his pool - drowned. He has left a will stipulating Suzanna marry his adopted son Grant, who leads the family company. Suzanna suspects her father has been murdered, and when strange things start to happen she does not know who she can trust. It is a marvellous story with gothic elements. Reads fast. Wow, really loved it. I will certainly buy her next book.

I found Shadows in the Mist to be a wonderfully textured romantic suspense. There are twists and turns to keep the reader guessing, interesting characters to keep the reader caring, and an atmosphere so real and enveloping you may feel the mist rising up around your armchair as you read it. I look forward to reading more by this excellent new author.
Enchanting! October 12, 2001

A friend recommended this book to me, and I'm SO glad she did! I simply could not put it down, it kept me turning pages way past midnight. Something for everyone -- mystery, romance, and a ghostly undercurrent that keeps the reader guessing. Beautifully written with an amazing cast of characters, it was one of those books that I wanted to go on and on. Ms. McMahon, if you're listening, PLEASE write a sequel!
