House of Secrets: Book 1

Product Information

I have read all of Brad Meltzer's books. This book is a little different from the others. It is more of a psychological thriller with a woman, Hazel Nash, as the main character. She is no Beecher White, one of my favorite characters, but she has her own unique personality. A personality she has to dig out from within herself ever since the accident when her brain was injured. Is it true that the size of our amygdala can determine our personalities or predict certain behaviors? Do creased ear lobes lead to over-sized hearts that could explode in our bodies? Scientific anomalies such as these are included in the story. They make me wonder and think. And that's what a book is supposed to do.

Anuj Kumar of The Hindu wrote: "What makes the series convincing is the way it captures the inability of the experts in different fields to answer all the questions, and how the case impacted the lives of journalists who covered it, as well as the policemen and forensic experts who investigated it. Whatever they say solves a part of the jigsaw puzzle, but could not complete the picture, because ultimately there is no clear consensus even on whether it was a crime story." [13] I’m just going to admit it, I love a good conspiracy. Did we really land on the moon? Did the government recover an alien spaceship in Roswell, New Mexico? And what about the Georgia Guide Stones–who built them and what’s their intended purpose?But after coming to in the hospital she realizes there are things going on, mysteries to solve, that have a lot to do with her father. How much does her brother Skip know? She can’t even remember if she trusts Skip, or how she felt about him. Then the whole Benedict Arnold thing. boooorring. It finally did try and come together but I had kinda lost interest by then. There's a wealth of information about this story on the internet, well written and much easier to understand. If there’s anything negative to say, my only gripe is that Meltzer goes through stretches of writing in very short sentences, which at times made me feel like I was living inside of Aaron Sorkin’s brain. There’s lots of ping-pong dialogue, and while it reads fast, it also feels a little choppy at times. Not a huge problem, but it does take a little getting used to. Thielman, Sam (5 January 2012).

An FBI shows up, asking questions about her dad and the corpse of a man found with the object in his chest. Did her father kill this man named Nixon? Hazel remembers The Bible. She recalls hearing the story. Mysteries need to be solved. A dead body and something hidden. Some details were clear and others lost. She thinks her dad told her. The last mystery. The Walker siblings, who lose their parents and think they are gone forever, are in danger for their lives most of the time. They get injured by stabbing with swords, burns, cannonball fire, gunfire (the tip of Brendan's earlobe is shot off), and being tossed about by a murderous witch. They are also threatened with being thrown to hungry sharks, finger amputation, and even vivisection (live autopsy). Gory or bloody scenes involve the removal of an arrow and improvised stitches, an eyeball pierced by an arrow, a couple of fatal stabbings, talk of the pirate captain's penchant for vivisection, and murder with a flaming mace. There's also a plane crash, hands being shot, a grenade thrown, and a chase by murderous cursed skeletons. Occult books with mentions of nasty experiments are found in a secret passage and left behind. In the 1980s and 1990s, The Sandman series revealed that the House of Secrets edifice exists both in the real world of the DC Universe and in the Dreaming, as a repository for secrets of all kinds. The character of Abel would later become a recurring character in The Sandman (vol. 2) and related series such as The Dreaming.
