This book, okay? This book has the absolute greatest first chapter that I have ever read. I made an audible gasp and forced everyone around me to read it as well. It is amazing, and I'm currently torn between gushing about it and a general feeling that maybe I shouldn't spoil anything. Nobody writes quite like Brad Meltzer. His style is sort of like if Harlan Coben’s books had a love child with one of Steve Berry’s novels. Informative, yet full of twists and things you never saw coming. Oh, and nearly impossible to put down! Though her memory is spotty, Hazel answers the FBI man’s questions as best as she can. Skip is there too, and together they listen as they’re told about a body that was recently found. The dead man was cold like he’d been in a freezer, but that wasn’t even the strangest thing about it. Upon further inspection, medical examiners found a copy of Benedict Arnold’s bible in his chest cavity. Skip is confused, not knowing about the Bible. He often helped his dad chase leads, while investigating conspiracies.I believe this isn't a popular story because at the time the Jeffery Dahmer case was in high publicity. Children learn what they live. His 11 children assumed that having sex with their parents was normal, along with seances, cannibalism and torture. He also told them he was the Devil and God, he could see into there minds and he would know if they told anyone. The mother participated. These children were living in hell. While Cauffiel tells the story well, and though disturbing, it's difficult to put down, it becomes bogged down in details and an endless epilogue towards the end of the book. His attempt to explain why incest is still so prevalent falls flat, leaving us with few--if any--answers. As she tries to piece the puzzle together, a mysterious man from the FBI arrives at the hospital, asking her questions about her father. Uncertain about the detective’s motives, Hazel digs into the case herself, which leads her down a path of government conspiracies and hard truths. There is a lot to like about this book, but for some reason I just couldn't get invested into it like others seem to have. To summarize the story, just read the synopsis provided-it does a good job of providing the highlights.

" 'House Of Secrets' Series From Chris Columbus In Works For Disney+". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved September 21, 2021.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. While still in the hospital peppering her brother with questions about who she is, who he is, who their father was (their mother died many years before) and what their life is like, she spotted a suspicious-looking man in the hallway. It turns out that the man is an agent with the FBI, and he was there to speak with Hazel.
