Title: Classic Michaels
Review: I "discovered" Barbara Michaels as a teenager and became instantly hooked by her suspenseful mysteries that usually add a touch of the paranormal (sometimes more than a touch!). Although twenty years later - I'm pushing 40 now - they come across a little dated, they are always a pleasure to read again and again, which I do. This was always one of my favorites, from the somewhat exotic - to me, a Texan! - locale of Cornwall, England to the terrific atmosphere Michaels creates in these creaking, wonderful old houses, it entertains up to the end. I also enjoy the fact that although there's a tiny bit of romance in the background in the tension between characters, it's never a prominent arc in the storyline, and in fact is barely discernible at times. I like that because if I want to read romance, I'll read romance. When I want quality, sophisticated suspense without all the gooey love stuff, I turn to Michaels every time.
