THE THIRD SECRET

Following the success of the DA VINCI CODE, it seems as though every author is writing Vatican-based mysteries. Unlike many of these copycats, THE THIRD SECRET is a captivating page-turner that never disappoints, with an ending as controversial and thought-provoking as anything by Dan Brown. The novel features murder, suicide, forbidden romances, and a diverse cast of characters, including an evil Pope. L.J. Ganser's performance makes the novel even better. Presented with characters from all over the world, Ganser handles the diversity of accents smoothly and with panache. He also provides the right emotional intensity in every scene. The result is one of those rare books that makes the listener want to stop everything and just keep listening. D.J.S.
