When I was first asked to review this book I thought to myself that it would probably be just another book in the plethora of novels that seem to have hung on to the coat tails of the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Happily this is third book in the Da Vinci Code mould that I have read and I am surprised to say that they are all equally as good, or better than Dan Brown's book.
Many people dismissed the Da Vinci Code as a nonsensical, poorly written book, but to me they are missing the point. As with this book by Steve Berry they are written as entertainment, they are novels and nothing within them should be taken too seriously. The books must be made plausible or the reader will just dismiss them as nonsense.
The Third Secret has everything, travel in Europe, murder, deceit and hidden passion, it is entertaining and thought provoking, but still a work of fiction. It is a well thought out plot designed to entertain and sometimes shock the reader. Just read it for what it is and enjoy it.
