Prepare to be spellbound. Barbara Frances' long-awaited third novel, “Shadow's Way,” takes you to the coastal, deep South, where the past and the present mingle in a gothic tale of insanity, murder, and sexual intrigue.
You'll meet the beautiful Elaine Chauvier, former actress and proprietor of Shadow's Way, her family's antebellum home; the esteemed Archbishop Andre Figurant and his fallen identical twin, Bastien; newly arrived Ophelia and Rudy, here to explore their Chauvier roots and their ties to Shadow's Way; and the mysterious Madame Claudine. Under a veneer of piety and graciousness, i.e., the questions: What is good? What is evil? What is reality?

Very intense book! Shadow's Way is a
suspenseful, amazing story that centers around an antebellum home on the Gulf
Coast that is the life's blood of Elaine Chauvier, a woman of aristocracy that
boasts of ties to Robert E. Lee. It's a multi-layered story that seems to be a
history of the house and its inhabitants, who have many secrets and obsessions.
It turns it to be a horror story of a crazy woman who is out to kill anyone who
gets in her way or who tries to take her precious home, Shadow's Way. It's a
story of ghosts and sordid pasts, and a shameful history of the local catholic
church. The people in the town who are related to Elaine or acquaintances are
unaware at first of all the twisted plans and goings-on of the main lady of the
house, but they soon find out when unexpected things start happening. It's a
vivid, startling tale that I highly recommend, because I just couldn't stop
reading this one until the very last word.
