Review: Meltzer’s ‘The House of Secrets’ disappoints
Brooklyn native Brad Meltzer, one of the best historical thriller writers in the business, teams up with acclaimed author Tod Goldberg for “The House of Secrets” (Grand Central Publishing), and the result is somewhat mixed.
Jack Nash is host of a popular conspiracy TV show that has made him recognizable everywhere. His son, Skip, becomes a fixture on the show.
Nash’s daughter, Hazel, has been able to stay out of the spotlight, but she has developed the same passion for historical conspiracies and tales, thanks to her father’s stories. One tale she fondly remembers involves a leather Bible belonging to Benedict Arnold found inside the chest of a frozen corpse. The question of who would do such a thing — and why — propels her imagination.
