Be Buried in the Rain

Summary: A delicious read...
Review: An enjoyable book, suspenseful, ghostly, some romance, all the things that make a book "delicious"... musty libraries, ancient family cemeteries, good-looking archeologists. I couldn't put it down, I even read it during meals.

Summary: Charming from beginning to end.
Review: Has all the best elements of a good ghost story with enough modern skepticism to keep us enthralled. Michaels is master of the modern gothic.

Summary: Barbara Michael's has done it again...and very well too
Review: I cannot put her books down! I finish one and order 3 more. Her finess at suspense with a touch of supernatural is God given. May she never stop.

Summary: Not as good as I hoped -- a disappointment
Review: I have read many of Barbara Michaels' books and enjoyed most. This book, however, lacked the suspense and excitement that most of her other books have. This book was quite a disappointment. After reading the blurb on the back of the book, I expected there might be a ghostly element to this story. There was absolutely no ghostly element at all. If a good Barbara Michaels ghost story is what you want, read "Ammie Come Home" - a spectacularly thrilling ghost story. If you want a simple mystery that is predictable from the start, read this one.

Summary: Crumbling Plantation house dripping with vines, ghosts.....
Review: I went looking for what Barbara Michaels has to offer: I wanted a modern "gothic" romance. I wanted a a creepy old house on a vast old Virginia plantation, dripping with creeper and ivy, with crumbling foundations and spooky attics. Something like an adult Nancy Drew. (I beg your pardon!) Ms Michaels always manages to set the perfect stage; regardless that the story flows excellent, the dialogues are excellent, too excellent. Ok, yeah, she misses the last star because the story wasn't the best---but atmosphere, my dear, is everything! I'll bet is was a joy to write this story and what a joy it was to read it. If you are looking for a book that has a little of everything....suspense, mystery, romance, etc. This is it. Graveyards, archaeology, family secrets....read on! Don't forget to check out her other stuff to! All in the same sort of line. The "feminist" heroine, the Mr. Rochester-type hero, the spooky background...ahhhh, the spooky background....

Summary: Barbara Michaels writes another intriguing book.
Review: This book doesn't just smack you in the face with realizations. It let's the answers come to you slowly. The characters seep into your subconcious. As a writer Barbara Michaels has surpassed herself again and again. I highly recommend all of her books. Also check out her books she's writes as Elizabeth Peters. They are well worth the read
