House of Secrets is a reference to the main character’s family/home,
as well as a TV show. The main character is Hazel Nash. At
first, as I listened to Hazel's childhood memories, I was
sure she’d grown up to be a serial killer or a funeral
director. She’s comes across as a creepy child…
The mystery begins with a grown-up Hazel Nash wakes up in
the hospital; she can’t remember her name or being in
the car accident that killed her father. Hazel’s dad
is Jack Nash, the host of a conspiracy TV show called The
House of Secrets. Conspiracies abound in everything as
far as Nash was concerned. Stranger still, an FBI agent shows
up at the hospital with questions about Hazel's dad. Hmmm,
was the car crash an accident or a hit? At some points, Hazel
wonders if she’s the good guy or the bad guy, and so
do we. It’s a complex international, conspiracy-filled,
stand-alone thriller. As the storyline moves, even more suspicious
characters and twists and turns are added. With chapter I
waited for the other shoe to drop. The authors successfully
kept me guessing on who the bad guy really was. I came away
sufficiently shocked. I have to say the very last of the book
is the most enlightening.
I listened to the audio version, and found Scott Brick’s
narration increased the intensity of the story. It took me
only two days to finish the audio version. It was well worth
my time. Don’t be surprised if you find the urge to
hit play, again. I think Hazel and company would be perfect
for a series.
