Customer Reviews

Very Good

This book was emotional and phyciological book which twisted and turned you. It starts that Katie hates living in Kluney so when she and Lana Jean go to the carnival things happen. A carnival worker is killed, then Lana Jean is murdered. Katie's confused and along with her mother's investigations she doesn't know what to do. Nixon takes the book from there and weaves you into a believable story that could happen. A very good book!

The best mystery of all times!

A mystery that you will not be able to put down. It is about a girl, Katie, who's mom wants to write a novel and moves from Houston to Texas. Katies mom is also a reporter for the newspaper. When they are all settled in at Houston, they notice people prowling around their yard at night. They call the police more than once and they are never able to catch the shadowmakers. One night, Katie gets news about her friend who was murdered. Who murdered Lana Jean? Read this to find out.

This is one of best book she has ever written!!

I think the way that Joan captured the pain that Katie and her mom went through living in this town was as if she was really living through as if it were her.And how she was able to describe the boys mischief and what they did to torment everyone.And how she put detail into all the murders. Out of all the books she has ever written i think this is the best in detail and in realism.

The scariest book I ever read, it gave me the creeps

If you are a person who loves bonechilling mysteries with terror and suspense, you'll really love this book. Once you read one of Joan Lowery Nixon's books, you can't stop. This one in particular was probobly her best. In this book she gives you all the details, all the clues, all the suspects, and a surprising and frightful end. You can not put this book down, any spare time you have is definitely going to be spent reading this book. One word of caution: do not read "Shadowmaker" in bed at night. It's so good and so nerve-racking it made me sleep with the door open and the lights on.

A great book!!

I think that this book was great. I love the way that Joan Lowery Nixon writes. I have also read The name of the game was murder, and I loved them both. I would recomend this book to everybody.
