Wicked Good Secrets

Sooooo much fun, lots of twists to a very interesting plot!!!! Started the book on an airplane flight, it cost me some sleep.... but I couldn't put it down until I finished! Wonderful read, you will ENJOY!!!!

I started Wicked Good Secrets on Friday morning and stayed with it until I completed it at 3 a.m. on Saturday! Wicked is Janice Law's best book yet! Her research is obviously excellent as is her feel for the Washington, D.C. scene. It is a fascinating literary work of multiple genres: Washingtoniana, history and mystery. Wicked Good Secrets justifies comparison with Drury's "Advise and Consent" and Ward Just's "Echo House." I realize Wicked is a novel, but it has the feel of reality.

Janice Law creates unforgettable cinematic characters like the magestic Native-American chief who lives undetected inside the U.S. Capitol building, teaming with a former Texas criminal court judge who helps him follow increasingly dangerous clues to unravel a whispered mystery of his tribal legacy. Law's fifth book, using Washington, D.C. icons as historic backdrop, is a wicked good film-ready roller coaster ride! When I devoured Wicked Good Secrets, I could visualize the movie scenes in my mind.

Janice Law's diverse writing talent finds yet again a new form. "Wicked Good Secrets" adds a thriller/page-turner and mind-expander to her earlier charming childrens' book, thought provoking studies about legal issues, Solomon's wisdom demands for judges, and psychological alienation in families. Readers be ready be challenged. Bravo Janice

Tricky secret codes to break, intricate clues to untangle and heart pounding chases in dark tunnels, a cemetery and the dome of the U.S. Capitol are all fodder for this intense thriller. In the best tradition of the National Treasure movies and the Da Vinci Code, Wicked Good Secrets intertwines three seemingly unrelated story lines involving an unlikely cast of characters including American Indians, a retired criminal court judge, henchmen with guns and a unscrupulous art connoisseur. Plus the octogenarian investigative reporter whose insatiable nose for news propels him to the bottom of things more suddenly than he imagined. What do the shocking diary of an American Revolutionary War soldier, a 19th century Italian art theft and the cornerstone of our nation's Capitol missing for over 200 years have in common? You won't be able to put "Wicked" down until you find out!! I couldn't!!
