My Review of The Survivors Club by Lisa Gardner
They say you get what you
pay for, and in the case of The Survivors Club by Lisa
Gardner, this is certainly true. I picked up this work as an
audiobook from a garage sale. I only paid a couple of bucks for
this, and that was all it was worth to me personally, though many
would disagree.
In all fairness, “slasher
books” really aren't my thing. In doing some research on the
author, Lisa Gardner, I discovered she is a New York Times
Bestselling Author http://www.lisagardner.com
The Survivors Club is
about three women who have lived through violent episodes with the
so-called College Hill rapist. The subject matter was disturbing at
best, but I definitely knew what I was in for in reading the synopsis
on the back of the audiobook. That being said, Gardner did do a
great job in throwing in some unexpected twists and turns. It isn't
until the very end of the book that the listener discovers who the
really rapist is.
Becky Ann Baker is the
narrator of the audiobook version of The Survivors Club.
Baker is certainly a skilled voice actress, although some of the
accents and voices she used in The Survivors Club didn't quite
click with me. Baker does have a number of noteworthy acting
credits, including work on Spider-Man 4 and Nights in
Rodanthe. I
loved Baker in her role as Jean Weir on Freaks
and Geeks so I
know she is a very capable and talented actress

I realize there is a lot of
passion for these types of crime stories, so I tried to keep that in
mind as I scored this project on Goodreads. I gave it three out of
five stars because the story itself was well written, even though it
seemed a little contrived at times
