The Tuesday Night Survivors' Club

A Tuesday Night Survivor's Club Mystery, Book 1

De: Lynn Cahoon

Narrado por: C.S.E. Cooney

Survivors become sleuths to find a missing member of their book club in new-age Sedona, New Mexico . . .

Two things got Rarity Jones through her breast cancer treatments: friends and books. Now cancer-free, Rarity is devoting her life to helping others find their way through the maze to healing. She's opened a bookstore focusing on the power of healing—Eastern medicine, Western medicine, the healing power of food, the power of meditation, and the importance of developing a support community. To that end, she's also started the Tuesday Night Survivors book club. With its openness to new-age communities, Sedona, Arizona, is the perfect fit for Rarity's bookstore and the tightly knit group.

But their therapeutic unity is disrupted when one of their members suddenly goes missing. Martha has always kept to herself, never opening up much of her personal life to the group. Now she's nowhere to be found. With her car abandoned on a trail and her dog left with a friend, Rarity is sure something terrible has happened—but will she be able to uncover Martha's secrets before it's too late?

I lost a Sister

I lost a sister to breast cancer, she would have loved this group. She survived the first round, but the second round took her away from us.

5 stars

The Tuesday Night Survivors' Club is an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I look forward to the next mystery.

Bookclub story

Such an awesome story incorporated with a bookclub and cancer survivors jumping into an investigation.

That it was about Breast Cancer survivors which was a big surprise!

Not much I didn’t like, great characters, great mystery! I loved it!! And Rarity found a love interest after all!

I like this author

I do not like this narrator at all. Too dramatic with her wispy voice. Does not fit the characters

Didn’t Think I would like

When is started this series I wasn’t really entranced but liked Ms Cahoon’s other books so hung in with it. I’m so glad I did it was great! This is a must read!

Cancer experience

I thought this was a good book. I’m sure my review won’t compel anyone to read it, but my question would be; are there really cancer centers who force their patients who are having annual tests (mammograms and ultrasounds) to wait for their results? This seems very cruel and unnecessary stress on a patient who really does not need more stress. I always get my results before I leave the cancer center. There is enough anxiety around annual testing and worries that it could be back. How on earth could someone think it okay to make a patient wait on top of all that stress? Sorry, I think it would be cruel and has not been my experience or my mother’s experience. We always have a result before we leave and we go to separate clinics associated with two different hospital systems. This is the type of small detail that matters in a story. Just from the emotion it will evoke in the reader. Especially, a survivor. I know that’s how regular mammograms work but not post cancer; at least not in the centers I’ve gone to.

Understanding about how we all look at breast cancer

Viewpoints of Breast Cancer as we all take and deal with the news differently. No judgements as you cannot tell someone how to feel

Interaction of the characters.

Loved that it took place in Sedona, one of my favorite places, book sellers, tour guides, small boutique shops, all makes for exciting reading.

Lackluster

I think I would have liked the story better if the narrator would have used her reading voice instead of the acting voice. If she could have read the lines with the authenticity she read the closing credits or other areas in the story. I think I have been spoiled by Susan Boyce. I do understand the narrator must choose different voice techniques and I am never going to be able to do it, but I prefer less of a caricature that a subtle voice change. Seems it makes it harder to read the lines so it feels disjointed to me. I am sure others loved it.
