Dan Brown-lite
I just finished listening to The Third Secret by Steve Berry. Berry's novels are a lot like those of Dan Brown... action-packed, mystery novels with a historical bend. Very interesting, pretty well-researched and something that has me excited to see what the next turn will be. Amazon's synposis:
