An Enjoyable Read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and, despite sounding like a cliche, I quite literally couldn't put it down. The book is well written with a very suspenseful plot and has an interesting cast of intriguing characters. I was impressed that this was the author's debut novel and look forward to more from her.

A wonderful escape to the English countryside...
Do not start this book unless you have a lot of time. You won't be able to put it down!! It is set in the Yorkshire moors. The wonderful mystery starts immediately and you will be hooked. A good mystery keeps you on "the edge of your seat" and Beneath the Shadows doesn't disappoint!!

Outstanding debut novel
This book is beautifully written. The characters are very well developed and believable. An intriguing story of moors, mist and mystery. Keeps you guessing until the very end. For a debut novel is a gem.

Shadows on the Moor
I read far too late three evenings in a row. The book is fascinating. It promises supernatural happenings, familial misbehavior, and murder. The setting itself, the North Yorkshire Moors, is compelling. After all, I know the mysterious moors well from Wuthering Heights. I know they are stark and strangely beautiful, and strange things happen on them. So I am truly fascinated. Plus Rebecca seems to be the book that puts our heroine to sleep each night, suggesting a relationship between Beneath the Shadows and Rebecca. Sure enough there is. An imperious lady of the manor becomes a friend of the heroine Grace. The lady has four daughters and an estranged son, who also proves to be more than a friend to Grace. This is a fun and intriguing read that concludes all at once, and its resolution bring out all sorts of family secrets.

Would make a terrific TV movie
What happened to Grace's husband? He has disappeared "with out a trace". This novel has a great sense of place with a bit of old ghost stories and town folklore. The Yorkshire moors during a brutal, wild winter establish an extremely moody setting. It has pace, plot and is a satisfying escape.

Beneath the Shadows / Sara Foster
Loved the atmosphere and suspense. I made many guesses as to why Grace's husband disappeared and there were so many possible culprits; this book kept me guessing AND reading. In truth, I read it straight through. Would definitely read another book written by Sara Foster.
