Summary: Why couldn't this be a movie? I read it twice within 2 days!
Review: I am a HUGE Barbara Michaels fan, quite possibly because she has the ability to encompass mystery, thrills, and romance, without dwelling too much on one aspect. Which holds true for this book as well. You will absolutely love Francesca, Stefano, and Miss P., for their wit, and intelligence. I wish this book were turned into a movie, so all of us visual people can watch all the events unfold, IN STEREO! At any rate, if you're a closet romantic, history student, or mystery buff, this is sure to enthrall you!!!

Summary: This book gave me 3 lovely dreams!!!
Review: I have collected and read many of Barbara Michaels' Books and this one is My favorite. Set during the Italian Revolution, it gives you a different perspective of Italian History, through English eyes. It was very well written, so much so, that you feel as if the excitement in the book, is very real!! The main characters are intelligent, witty, and daring. You cheer for them throughout the book. I wish this were made into a movie, so visual people, like myself, could indulge in it further. Whether you're a closet romantic, history student, or mystery buff --- you'll want to read it twice....like I did!!!

Summary: A Positive Review
Review: I LOVE THIS BOOK! I've read nearly every Barbara Michaels book-and this is by far my favorite. I once spent two hours describing this book to my friend in minute detail-and she loved it! Dashing Andrea, dreamy Stefano, vivacious Miss Perkins, ever-changing Francesca are the key players in one of my favorite stories. Bravo, Ms. Michaels, for writing this story!

Summary: Absolutely Loved It
Review: I read this book during a flight and found I couldn't put it down. However, I thought the true identity of the Falcon was extremely obvious. Otherwise, very entertaining.

Summary: Absolutely Loved It
Review: I've been reading Barbara Micheals novels for years now (I'm pretty sure I've gone through all of them now) and Wings of the Falcon is my favorite. I love the characters, particularly Stefano and Francesca. It is a little predictable, but then again most of her novels are. The story of the revolution and the war is gripping. This book is definitely the "guilty pleasure" on my bookshelf -- I reread it frequently and simply love it. It has romance, mystery and adventure . . . if you like Barbara Micheals you will love this book, which I think is her best.

Review: Oh yesss! Dreams of handsome, heroic, brave, strong, romantic, dashing, yummy, etc. etc. guys! I think I'd better reread it right now; maybe I'll get some more nice dreams. Ladies, you need this book even if you have to put up with a cruddy used copy from Amazon resales. (I'll bet someone's stolen the copy from your local library!)

Summary: Historical Fiction -- A great work!
Review: This book is a bit of a departure from the mystery/suspense that Barbara Michaels is best known for. It is more of a historical work of fiction. It does contain the suspense that Ms. Michaels' is known for.

The book is well written and held my interest enough that I read it in one day! It was spooky and atmospheric with a haunted cave and a whole lot of suspenseful detail. It is one of my favorite Barbara Michaels books! It now has an honored place on my bookshelf. If you buy this one it'll gain keeper status on your shelf too.
