Adversity The House of Secrets is a television show that tries to unravel the secrets of such stories as "Ghosts of Ireland" or "The Shroud of Turin". The show is hosted by Jack Nash and often seen with him is his son, Skip. Staying in the background is his daughter, Hazel. After Jack dies, Hazel and Skip launch an investigation into Jack's death, taking them all over the world. As they get closer they find two men also deceased who seem tied to their father's death. Then the whole case speeds toward its conclusion. If you liked the Da Vinci Code, you should enjoy this book. There are several things that I like about this book. First, the story is great and thrilling to read. Second, the main characters Hazel is a strong competent woman with an interesting past and third, this seems like it will be the first book in a new series and that makes me really happy. Of, course, there are several more things I like about this book, but I really wanted to point out just those three things since a good thriller, with a strong main character and the promise of sequels is perhaps something that will appeal not just to me, but to others. I have only read one book by Brad Meltzer before I read this book and that was The President's Shadow. But, I liked that book very much and getting an opportunity to rad this book made my day. The story sounded intriguing and I loved the cover. I like the twists and turns of the story and I liked that I couldn't figure it all out and the last part of the book was marvelous. Hazel is a wonderful character, and reading about her trying to figure out her past and at the same time figure out what the death of her father has with the death of a man with an object stuffed into his chest was fascinating. The House of Secrets was a great read, it was well-written and thrilling to read and hopefully, will it be the first book in a series (with many books)! I want to thank Grand Central Publishing for providing me with a free copy for an honest review! no reviews | add a review

HTML:A secret worth killing for. A woman with no past. An act of treason that changed America. #1 bestselling author Brad Meltzer returns with The House of Secrets When Hazel Nash was six years old, her father taught her: mysteries need to be solved. He should know. Hazel's father is Jack Nash, the host of America's favorite conspiracy TV show, The House of Secrets. Even as a child, she loved hearing her dad's tall tales, especially the one about a leather book belonging to Benedict Arnold that was hidden in a corpse. Now, years later, Hazel wakes up in the hospital and remembers nothing, not even her own name. She's told she's been in a car accident that killed her father and injured her brother. But she can't remember any of it, because of her own traumatic brain injury. Then a man from the FBI shows up, asking questions about her dad-and about his connection to the corpse of a man found with an object stuffed into his chest: a priceless book that belonged to Benedict Arnold. Back at her house, Hazel finds guns that she doesn't remember owning. On her forehead, she sees scars from fights she can't recall. Most important, the more Hazel digs, the less she likes the person she seems to have been. Trying to put together the puzzle pieces of her past and present, Hazel Nash needs to figure out who killed this man-and how the book wound up in his chest. The answer will tell her the truth about her father, what he was really doing for the government-and who Hazel really is. Mysteries need to be solved. Especially the ones about yourself..
