"House of Secrets" by Brad Meltzer and Tod Goldberg is a pretty amazing book. It mixes up the history of Benedict Arnold and some modern day conspiracy along with a little amnesia mystery and wham! you've got yourself a pretty addictive read. Hazel is the daughter of an American icon who traveled the world in search of mystery for his tv show. As a side gig he also dabbled in a little treason. Hazel has a form of amnesia that keeps her from remembering anything that has an emotional attachment. In a sort of "Dude, Where's my Car?" format, she does the digging to get to the bottom of the mayhem that is going on around her. It's a great novel and you should probably read it.

Night School Review
Lee Child's 2016 novel "Night School" is the 21st book in the Jack Reacher series, and it is very different from the other Reacher novels. In this novel is focuses on not only through the eyes of Reacher, but also through the villain. In this one, Reacher is in the army (it goes back in the timeline) has been given a very hush hush mission. Someone may or may not be committing a crime that is worth a hundred million dollars and the only clue they have is 'Germany'. That's pretty vague.
This book not only takes a different view of the characters, but it is also a lot more racy. Streamy actually. Reacher is still a young'un and the testosterone is through the roof! You'll love it. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
