Secrets in the Stacks

A Survivors' Book Club Mystery, Book 2

De: Lynn Cahoon

Narrado por: C.S.E. Cooney

After an ominous Tarot reading, Sedona bookstore owner Rarity Cole must find a killer to keep her friend safe from harm—even if the cards are stacked against her . . .

Following her recovery from breast cancer, Rarity has embraced a life of healing and service in her Sedona, Arizona, community. She welcomes the opportunity to participate in the annual summer healing fair with her fittingly named new-age bookstore, The Next Chapter. The members of the Tuesday Night Survivors' Book Club are also volunteering, maintaining a cooling station for overheated festivalgoers, and hosting a Tarot card reader for entertainment.

But one member, Darby, is anything but entertained when the Tarot reader pulls a Death card. With a mammogram coming up, she's freaked out and goes home—only to walk into a crime scene where someone near and dear to her has been murdered. Despite the objections of Detective Drew Anderson, Rarity is determined to help her friend and protect her from being the killer's next victim . . .

Fun read

Easy, fun read for escapists. Great plot & characters. Perfect for walking the dog. Great audio .

Fun read

I loved the main character she was very funny reminded me of myself and her group of good friends

Keeps You Guessing!

The second book of the “Survivor’s Book Club” series was overall a fairly enjoyable listen. Ms Cahoon chose a great setting for these books in Sedona, AZ.
This book seemed more choppy and the story didn’t flow as well as the first book. Not all of the story was consistent from one book to the next. For example, in the first book, the dog was a yorkie. This book he is a Pomeranian.
The narrator was ok but some of the character voices were odd and tough to listen to. I might try the next one. I’m considering looking for another series.

Storytelling

Lynn Cahoon is a Gifted story teller every time in every book she writes. Enjoy

Is she drunk?

This second book in the series is narrated by the same gal as in the first BUT she is NOT one I am going to plan to follow as she is lousy. But now I get to go on to the third and PRAY she has progressed to the positive!!

Not one of my favorite listens

I usually like Lynn Cahoon’s stories but this seems to mimic the Tourist Trap theme in basic setting. Unfortunately, the setting is not as well described and character personalities not as well developed. The narrator attempted to identify characters by differing accents but some men sounded feminine and vice versa. Plot developed slowly and was predictable. A good “light listen” if the listener doesn’t want a challenging book.
