Publisher's summary

A priceless book, hidden in a corpse.

A family secret, handed down through generations.

And a woman with no memory of her past.

Number-one best-selling 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.

The Secrets Remain

Don't know where the book was going till the end, then missed it, I guess.

Not a fan of the dual narrator arrangement either.

Cleaver Story With Surprises

Unusual story line kept my attention. Also love the narrator. At times I thought it was a bit strange but story hung together.

House of secrets

I found this book to be very odd. I listened to it all to hear the end. I wouldn't recommend this book to my friends to read. Generally I like Brad Meltzer books but not this one

So glad to see a past character. Love it.

page Turner for real, but I'm a Meltzer fan. the plot is good, the people reading it is great. a little different hearing a lady read , it's one of my favs next to the cuppler ring series.

WOW!

Brad just keeps getting better and better. The twists and turns are simply brilliant! Scott & January bring this to life with amazing performances.

Well done Brad, well done. Can't wait for the next one!

Engaging, intriguing, entertaining

I loved the readers and the story though Meltzer never disappoints in his ability to draw me in.

Disappointing Story

Bizarre story which kept me curious throughout but the ending did not make my investment in time worthwhile -- it was confusing, flat and very disappointing.

Engaging listen.

Complex plot. Cleverly played out. Great set of characters with exaggerated personas. Two day play.
