Just buy it! It is really good. January 21, 2002

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.
A romantic suspense novel rich in atmosphere October 16, 2001

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.

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!
A delightful gothic romance for Victoria Holt fans October 12, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I don't know about comparing SHADOWS IN THE MIST to "Jane Austin," as reviewer baset calls her. I would suggest a comparison with Victoria Holt is more apt. SHADOWS IN THE MIST is a taut, suspenseful story, with shivery paranormal and gothic overtones, comparing favorably to the best of Holt. The reader is pulled into the compelling story from the first sentence, and McMahon doesn't let up on the tension until the final word. I loved it!

"This wonderful story by Maureen McMahon has a little bit of everything to keep you turning pages! Romance, ghostly visitations, family betrayal, deception, as well as an unraveling murder mystery, will most certainly hold the reader's interest. The story is elegantly crafted so that the reader feels like they are within the confines of the story. I really enjoyed reading the entire story, for the pace was excellent. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone with a love for all the elements of a superb story. I see more great novels in the future from this author!...
