Ratings and reviews

Lynn Cahoon's Secrets in the Stacks is the second book in the Survivor's Book Club Mystery series and qualifies as a stand-alone. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and instantly loved the serene surroundings of Sedona, Arizona. Rarity Cole is an inspirational character infused with strength, kindness and logic. y suspect list was long, and the surprising ending caught me off guard. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for giving me an ARC.

I love the way Lynn tells a story and how she developed the characters. it's a good cozy mystery!
