Detective Susan Ford and her new partner, Detective Jack Tomelli, are called to a crime scene at the local summer stock theater where they find the director of Murder on the Orient Express gruesomely murdered—naked, face caked in makeup, pillow at his feet, wrists and ankles bound by rope.

It also brings anxiety of recurrence or diagnosis of another kind. I turned to this book to better understand how to cope with life post cancer...
