You won't be able to put this one down, and I doubt that you will be able to guess "the third secret" either. The book is based upon the Fatima legend of the early 20th century. We just thought we had been told all of the secrets!

This was my favorite so far. What was the third secret given to the children at Fatima by the Virgin Mary in 1917 and why the cover up? Why isn't this information shared with the people even though the Pope knows what it is? Enjoyable information about the order of life in the Vatican.

This book is not dry, altho the story line might lead one to think it would be. Father Michener, friend and papal secretary to the Pope, is embroiled in the politics of the Vatican. Something is bothering the Pope and his health is suffering. A visit to Romania, at the behest of the Pope, brings the good Father into contact with the woman in his past. This is a very good read!

Pretty interesting. If the background information presented is factual, then I'd say I learned a lot of trivia about the Catholic church. (If not, it still set up and supported the story line nicely.) I found the ending to be a letdown. It almost turned into a religious campaign for Christianity and specifically for the Catholic church. I liked the mystery/suspense/intrigue parts of the story just fine, though!
