A GREAT SEQUEL - A SERIES FOR ALL AGES.......2007-06-26
Sometimes a sequel just isn't as good as the first book in a series. THIS ONE IS EVERY BIT AS EXCITING AS THE FIRST! Davis uses a great HOOK: IS BONNIE'S MOTHER ALIVE? The reader also meets Bonnie's father. Pacing, Action, Atmosphere, Characterisation, Setting, and especially Motives and Motivation are at the highest level of excellence as the best Thrillers being written today. I'm a middle aged adult; not a teen and I find This Series and author cross all age barriers. Do yourself a favor and try this series. The author also does the King Arthur, Merlin and Excalibur legends to a turn and with new twists! I've lent volume one to a few friends (adults who love either scifi or thrillers) and they have become hooked fans of both the author, the series and the return to legends and dragons. DON'T MISS THIS SERIES.
It was good I want to see what happens next!.......2007-04-16
It was a good book i want to read the next one (but is devin really dead or will he come back?)in the saga. But the fighting or adventure didn't really happen all that much like in the first book.
this book is the best!.......2006-06-06
The entire series of Dragons in our Midst is the best series that I have ever read. The Candlestone improves on its prequel, Raising Dragons, with more adventure and action than the first book. If you are considering buying this book, then do buy it, along with all the rest of the series. Be sure to read it.
Incredible!.......2006-05-05
Though RAISING DRAGONS was perhaps a bit of a predictable read, the CANDLESTONE jumped right out at me, and pulled me into the series. From start to finish, things continued lining up from the first book and slowly became even more unpredictable than I've ever expected to see from any author.
It's well written, smooth and with a clarity that makes one KNOW the characters, this is a book that any fan of good, clean fantasy should not skip out on. Particularly if you're looking for something that's just a bit different from the typical, just a bit extreme enough to be readable, and just creative enough to border on cutting edge vs the everyday fantasy heroes.
LOVE THESE BOOKS!.......2006-04-27
ZOMGZ! I LOVE THESE BOOKS SO MUCH!
Seriously, these books are so amazing, and I have such a huge crush on Bonnie. Just look at the cover! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! OMG! I would totally marry her IRL! I don't even care if she has dragon wings! She is so, so, so beautiful and just an amazing person who lives her life through Christ in every way. WOW! READ THESE BOOKS! YOU WILL LOVE HER TOO!

My daughter loved this book.......2007-01-04
My daughter is an avid reader and she really enjoyed this book. In fact, she wrote the author to tell her she was anxious for her next book. It was very nice to find fiction that includes a family with two moms. I wish there were more books like this out there.

Book Description
Nothing could drag chef Angie Amalfi away from San Francisco and her beloved policeman fiance Paavo Smith –– except for a job preparing the banquet her all–time favorite soap opera characters will consume during an upcoming Christmas Reunion Special. So Angie eagerly takes off for the estate where the now–defunct "Eagle Crest" was originally filmed. Not thrilled to be staying in the very room from which the young actress Brittany Keegan took a real–life fatal tumble years earlier, Angie is equally disturbed –– and intrigued –– when another corpse turns up in the cellar. Both deaths have been ruled accidental, but the bitter accusations flying back and forth among the reunited cast suggest otherwise. And now that Angie's a guest star in this deadly serial drama, she's suddenly in serious danger of being written out of it permanently.

Waiting & Waiting & Waiting...ZZZzzzzZZZzzz...........2006-01-09
Yeap, I dozed off a couple of times while reading this book cos its so BORING. Its easy to get into this story but the Big problem is the plot or non-existence of a plot of substance to be precise. This is the first book I have read by this author. Not sure whether her other books are also of a similar vein, if so, I would not read any of her books again.
The plot centers around Angie Amalfi lumped together with a cast of once-upon-a-time famous soap opera stars preparing to tape a TV Christmas reunion show at a winery estate. The entire plot consists of Angie wondering what she is to do with herself as everyone ignores her until she finds another aimless goal, ie, to find out who murdered Brittany, another soap opera star who died about 11 years ago & who was part of the original cast, all of whom are now assembled for the Christmas reunion taping except for Brittany.
It took so long for anything of significance to happen, the buildup to the murder, yes finally, is so far back in the book. Hello? What happened to exposition, climax and resolution in story telling technique, this book totally ignored it & was rather patchy in all areas. By the time the murder happened it became an anti-climax as I was heavily overdosed on the non-existence of a plot!!
Please, more structure to plot before selling it to readers based on so-called authoritative reviews by publishers, the high hopes are completely dashed leaving only a huge disappointment. I have read better amateur sleuths of the chick lit genre than this one.
Sweating Plastic Snowflakes; Skidding In Sticky Goo.......2005-07-29
Absolutely enjoyed the expansion of Angie's character in TWO COOKS A-KILLING. Pence gave Paavo's history a focus in TO CATCH A COOK; in this book she gave Angie a stretch of space and plot.
I continue to be entertained by the changing nuances in Pence's style in each of the books. Most series novels seem to plot a pattern and stick to it, or at least they follow a composition type to a "T." But, each of the Angie books has a unique identity and "talking" technique, and each one works. Maybe most readers won't notice the writing method changes, but they're fun for me to pick up on.
This book seems to have less of the Sidney Sheldon type of scene shifting which Pence seems to enjoy playing with; the generally uninterrupted narration in this novel gives a pleasantly slower pace than the other books I've read. In the case of this story, the smother flow of scene changes fits the character development, plot, and theme, and made the reading, for me, even more pleasant and the capture more absolute; it made the story ease along naturally, so I was more relaxed reading this novel than the others.
To relax while I'm reading is a definite plus, and that cozy mood does not take away from the interest or intrigue. For an author to successfully work a sensual pace yet keep interest kindled is truly an art, especially in a market climate in which more, more, more speed, shock, action, and gut ripping seems to be demanded of authors by what feels like a profit-panicked-industry understandably terrified of keeping up with TV's RC. Could write a book on that subject, but better get off it for now.
Each of the Angie books has its unique, more-than-the-others qualities, so I can honestly say I love each book and haven't found one yet which seems to "work" less than the others in any way, in providing good escape reading enjoyment with tidbits of complexity and depth to munch on.
However, it's been said by folks wiser than I that most series contain certain books which feel better or less than the others.
That thought has niggled at me each time I pick up a new Angie book, wondering, "Will this be one of the ones which isn't as good as the others? If so, why?"
Of course, since my mission seems to be to find the heart or core of value in each novel, I'm looking for that, and am aiming to be able to "christen" each with honest, 5 Star raves.
Speaking of core value, Joanne Pence certainly accomplished a coup working a springtime reality into a winter plot! The seasonal-contrast-tension from an April-living-scheme shoved seamlessly into a December ambiance fueled one of the best banquet bashing scenes I've ever read! I'll never doubt it. Pence is a master of contrast. She knows when/how to build and relieve tension. She pushes, drives, and manifests her talents in amazing and thorough ways. Was she the first to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear?
LOVED the tasty detail in that food fight scene!!
What an ingenious slant on collecting suspects at a dinner table with an amateur sleuth chef trying to shift the spotlights, after she has thoroughly tantalized readers by dramatizing the cooking process of a several course gourmet meal.
And what author can make a serious scene of the culprit conclusion hilarious and riveting?
Joanne Pence!
She outdid herself with flights of food, resulting in the best of that type of slapstick situation I've read anywhere. Usually in-your-face food fun isn't appealing to me, but the way Pence did it, and the irony of having a culinary mystery use this technique was just fantastically, ironically appropriate. It's intriguing (and fun to me) that the author gave more detail in more vivid syntax in the food scenes which trashed culinary coups than she usually does in the eating/prep parts of plot. For Joanne Pence, it does appear that "Cooking is murder"!
As funny as the banquet brawl was, the contrasting scene with Angie barely defying death as she dangled out a window was equally riveting in a serious, "Oh my God!" way. With Pence's obvious love for contrast I shouldn't have been surprised that she'd cancel the flowing tide of the whole novel's sensual pace and comfy coziness BIG TIME in the ending sequences. It almost felt like she was tired of the easy, almost sweet (and I loved it) flow of the whole book and got pissed off with the plot not being jazzy enough for her standards (though it was for me) when she got to the ending phases of writing. So, she got out the whips and chains and jazzed UP the action and angst several plateaus in the denouements, with lightning-fast stepping and pizzazzy-fancy maneuvering.
What a fun book!
I've been noticing that each sequential book in this series seems to add more to the culinary hits. The taste bud input grows more and more into balsamic levels of gourmet-chef-delicious. Pence must have a collection of foodie contacts somewhere, or a great cook book collection; maybe it's all the cooking shows on TV. Surely she watches Lidia's Italian table once in a while! (She did mention Emeril in this one.)

Soap Opera Reunion, Food and Murder.......2003-12-29
Angie Amalfi has been offered a chance of a lifetime. She is to prepare a Christmas meal for the reunion special of her favorite soap opera, Eagle Crest. This meant she had to be separated from her San Francisco homicide detective finace Paavo Smith. But it is only for a short time.
The special is being filmed at the Waterfield estate owned by Dr. Sterling Waterfield. Dr. Waterfield, a friend of Angie's father, is a widower and lives with his two sons, Junior and Silver. Junior once dated Angie's sister, Frannie, but things hadn't worked out.
Eagle Crest had ended ten years earlier, but now the cast was being reassembled for a ten year reunion, a Christmas reunion.
When she arrives, she finds the crew there, but no stars have arrived. She also finds out that Emery Tarleton, the director, wants her to recreate the Christmas meal from an earlier Christmas show and that the actress Brittany Keegan who had played Julia Parker had died in the house. The official reports were that she died in Los Angeles, but in reality she had died in the house. Worse yet, she fell out of the window of the third floor bedroom Angie has been given!
Soon Angie becomes aware that someone is trying to sabotage the filming. The actors arrive and it is soon apparent that they are not very friendly
Angie starts looking into the death of Brittany. It was classified as a suicide, but things just don't appear to be so simple. Many things happen on the set and Angie knows that she needs to unravel the mystery before someone else is hurt, including herself.
I like this series. Angie is a very likeable character. The soap opera actors in this book are so realistic and Angie is the ultimate fan put into a very strange situation.
The setting of an estate really assists in this book because everyone is living together but they can leave the estate when needed.
I highly recommend this book and series.
Not as good as earlier books in series.......2003-11-21
Career-challenged chef Angie Amalfi has been hired to cook a sumptuous Christmas dinner for a TV show, and she couldn't be more thrilled. Not only will she get to meet the stars of her favorite nighttime soap as they reassemble for a holiday reunion show, but she'll get to show off her cooking skills to Hollywood and maybe become the next TV celebrity chef. But when she arrives at the winery where the "Eagle Crest" reunion is to be taped, reality falls far short of her expectations. The actors are a bunch of self-absorbed, bitter people who seem to be obsessed with an "accidental" death of a young actress that took place on this very set 11 years ago. Angie decides that if her feast is to be anything but a disaster, she must solve the mystery of what happened to Brittany Keegan and get people focused again on holiday cheer and her wonderful cooking.
Meanwhile, Angie's fiance, detective Paavo Smith, is off solving a series of gang-related killings and the disappearance of a "little person."
While this mystery series endures and plucky Angie is always likable, I can't say this is the strongest book in the series. For one thing, now that Angie and Paavo are engaged, the sexual tension that marked the earlier books is completely absent. Angie and Paavo are rarely even together, and the subplot with Paavo and the gang killings is not connected in any way to the main mystery--and altogether superfluous. The mystery itself, however, is clever, the various suspects are colorful. I particularly liked the scruffy tabloid reporter, Digger, who was one of the more fleshed-out characters. And the climax scene when Angie finally serves her elaborate dinner is a real hoot.
In short, fans of the real nighttime soaps "Falconcrest," "Dynasty," and "Dallas" will enjoy this homage to the genre, and die-hard Angie Amalfi devotees will also enjoy it. If you're new to the series, however, you might try the earlier books, particularly the first two, which are still available.
Angie and Paavo are as great as Nancy and Ned..........2003-11-07
Imagine getting a job working in Courtlandt Manor of Pine Valley. To a soap fan this is a dream job, one Angie Amalfi has a chance to live when she lands a job providing the Christmas dinner for the cast of her favorite soap's, Eagle Crest, reunion show. The dream quickly is transformed to a nightmare. The "chef" is an odious little man who makes Angie's life miserable whenever they come into contact. He's determined to not let her into "his" kitchen. The stars are aloof and not nearly as likeable in person as their characters. Everyone Angie knows seems to be dropping in to leave a prop for her to place on the set so they can say their knick knack is a part of the scene, and she has discovered that getting this job might be less a measure of her talent and more a facet of her father's match making schemes. Toss in an old, unsolved murder, a tabloid reporter, and a fresh "accidental" death, and you have a fine hash.
The love of Angie's life, Paavo, is not too thrilled with life either. He misses Angie, and her cooking. Then, referred by Angie's pesky friend Connie, he has a missing person's case dumped in his lap by a "little person", Minnie Petite. The only good part of that is it ties to Angie's situation, and brings them together again.
**** Angie and Paavo are the best mystery couple since Nancy and Ned. You might die laughing, but it is a good way to go. As always, there are recipes guaranteed to kill your diet if you make them included. ****
Customer Reviews:
Dreadful.......2002-04-28
This book makes an attempt to address serious issues. Unfortunately, having terrible things happen to your characters -- such as being abused and repeatedly raped -- doesn't necessarily make for serious treatment of such issues. The character Omelda's very passivity in the face of such treatment is incomprehensible, and passive characters aren't exactly the stuff of satisfying fiction. None of the characters in Shroud of Shadow are very believable anyway, and although the Inquisition rears its ugly head near the end, you could almost think it wasn't that big a deal because it is so easily dealt with. The author seems to be saying that having plenty of money to throw around can solve just about any problem.
Ugh..........2001-12-02
Natil is the last of the Elven race, and in this novel she takes a runaway nun, Omelda, under her wing during the time of the Inquisition. Natil's powers are mostly gone, except for her miraculous harp playing, which is the only thing that saves Omelda from suicide. Natil herself is suicidal, and wants nothing more than to crawl under a rock and cease to exist. Obsessed with this goal, she doesn't do much for Omelda except get the two of them indentured to a selfish rich man, his greedy sons, and his perverted grandsons. Much description of sadistic rape follows.
Natil keeps herself going because she has visions of Elves reawakening in the twentieth century--the only trouble is that these elves are this rather boring couple who spend all their time navel-gazing and talking about how groovy their new powers are. So anyway, they're the hope of the Elven race, and Natil goes on about her business, bemoaning her own lack of powers and still planning her departure from this world. Natil's self-pity blinds her to the much more dire plight of Omelda; I was sorely disappointed in Natil over this.
Eventually, all the major characters end up charged by the Inquisition. Description of nasty tortures follows. Some of the characters get a semi-happy ending, due to the fact that money conquers all, but the end suffered by one of the characters is absolutely pointless and depressing. Overall, the book sunk me into a morass of despair while all the while making me want to throw up. I wanted to wash my brain out with soap afterward. (Literally--after I finished the book, I had to read some pages of something else before I could sleep.) Perhaps this is the effect Baudino is trying to acheive. And yes, I know that these atrocities really happened to real people during those times. But there's no law saying I have to enjoy reading about it in detail. The scenes where Natil actually *does* something, for example when she plays the harp or when she stands up to the Inquisitor, are quite good, but you have to wade through hundreds of pages of gross-out to find them.
Last Elf trys to find hope!.......2000-10-08
Natil is the last of her peaple and her powers are fading. She still trys to heal even if all she can give is a song. The church is burning anything and any one it can not accept. Is there still room in the world for magic or elves anymore. Gael Baudino's 'Shroud of Shadow' is a dark book as the title might suggest but it is not just about what harm peaple do to each other it is also about redemption.There is light at the end of the tunnel.A compelling read.
A story in the best tradition of Science Fiction/Fantasy.......1998-06-28
The best of science fiction/fantasy doesn't just tell old worn familiar stories with new props (dragons instead of horses); it helps us live another vision, another time in history, another point of view. It challenges our thinking, makes us walk in the other persons shoes, and kicks our butts out of the daily rut. It tells us stories that we have to keep thinking about for awhile after the book is finished. Gael Baudino's "Shroud of Shadow" is such a work. The story takes us back to the days of the Inquisition and the death of magic. It leads us through our own history as the last Elf ...passing among humans as a woman harpist...struggles with a world bereft of beauty, and one almost lost to hope. The writing is beautiful, the experience both chilling and disturbing. Let yourself read this book. Let yourself talk a walk through the past that will raise questions about our present...and future.
Decent story.....if you can ignore the authors social views.......1997-11-03
The idea was a good one.....but the promise of the story was not played out well. I believe the author had an agenda behind writing this book. Perhaps it was the dedication to all women who had been killed by husbands or boyfriends in the state of Colorodo which prefaced the book that tipped me off? The characters in the book, with the exception of the elf Natil, fall into the stereotypical ideas of the abusive male, and the resigned-to-fate female. Most of the action of the book tells of violent acts against women. Several times the author used the phrase, "men striking women, women scolding men..." to describe the life in a city.

Product Description
For centuries, the Shroud of Turin has puzzled its critics and advocates. But in the last three decades, examination of the Shroud has revealed even more complexities: a three-dimensional image which no one has been able to explain or duplicate with medieval methods - until now. In this lecture, Nathan Wilson demonstrates how medieval forgers could have easily created a photo negative image of a man, three-dimensionally encoded on linen, by using only painted glass and sunlight. Mr. Wilson also gives an entertaining overview of the Shroud's history, its controversies, and its most ardent defenders and detractors.

Entertaining, thought provoking, highly recommended reading........2000-03-05
The fantastic Christian icon purported to be the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ and bearing his image is the source of countless rumors of miraculous healing and transformed lives from Jerusalem to Edessa, Constantipole and throughout Western Europe. In an engaging fictional treatment, Larry London draws upon his extensive researches to weave together a tale of historical fact and plausible fiction to create an edifying and satisfying story of the Lord at work in the shadow of a unique and powerfully symbolic relic of the Christian faith. Shadow Of The Shroud: The Story Of Christ's Burial Cloth is entertaining, thought-provoking, highly recommended Christian novel.
