Publisher's Summary
Fatima, Portugal, 1917: The Virgin Mary appears to three peasant children, sharing with them three secrets, two of which are soon revealed to the world. The third secret is sealed away in the Vatican, read only by popes, and not disclosed until the year 2000. When revealed, its quizzical tone and anticlimactic nature leave many faithful wondering if the church has truly unveiled all of the Virgin Mary's words or if a message far more important has been left in the shadows.
Vatican City, present day: Papal secretary Father Colin Michener is concerned for the Pope. Night after restless night, Pope Clement XV enters the Vatican's Riserva, the special archive open only to popes, where the church's most clandestine and controversial documents are stored. Though unsure of the details, Michener knows that the Pope's distress stems from the revelations of Fatima.
Equally concerned, but not out of any sense of compassion, is Alberto Cardinal Valendrea, the Vatican's Secretary of State. Valendrea desperately covets the papacy, having narrowly lost out to Clement at the last conclave. Now the Pope's interest in Fatima threatens to uncover a shocking ancient truth that Valendrea has kept to himself for many years.
When Pope Clement sends Michener to the Romanian highlands, then to a Bosnian holy site, in search of a priest, possibly one of the last people on Earth who knows Mary's true message, a perilous set of events unfolds. Michener finds himself embroiled in murder, suspicion, suicide, deceit, and his forbidden passion for a beloved woman. In a desperate search for answers, he travels to Pope Clement's birthplace in Germany, where he learns that the third secret of Fatima may dictate the very fate of the church, a fate now lying in Michener's own hands.
Critic Reviews
"Berry handles his thriller tradecraft skillfully: his descriptions are stellar, and of special interest, he offers a vivid re-creation of the majestic conclave, in which the College of Cardinals elects a new pope." (Booklist)

What did you like best about The Third Secret? What did you like least?
The writing was great and the constant interation between the characters was good. I thought the end was a bit of a letdown and Mr Berry was promoting his agenda. It is the book by him that I liked the least. The potenr\tial was great and then it just duds out

Captivating and moving story!
I thoroughly enjoyed Berry's previous novel, The Romanov Prophecy, and so was very excited to see this release on Audible. Like his previous work, Berry puts his spin on a classic historical event with intrigue. As such, his work may remind readers of Dan Brown and such, but he truly is a unique author. He develops his character well, and the story is continually moving. My only critique of this novel was that the ending, that is the secret, seemed a bit convenient, and thus not credible. Oh well, the story is still great and definitely a must listen!

Forest Gump stars in a so-so Dan Brown novel
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I'm not sure who would enjoy it more, since this kind of fiction appeals to people who want to be challenged to thing.
Others have covered the political nature of the book, and that's all fine and good. I am Catholic. I am a bit liberal on religious issues. I took no offense, and I didn't mind the preaching of the characters in the book, but I do think it was all a bit too unrealistic. I mean, I don't want to give too much away, but the Virgin Mary sounds an awful lot like Nancy Pelosi! My biggest problem with the storytelling was how completely goofball slow the main character is. I have twin 10-month-olds who are starting to pay attention to Yo Gabba Gabba, and they really spell things out for the kiddos. "This is what food is!" "You have two ears!" I felt like that was what the main character needed. So we're to believe that this highly educated papal secretary can't put even two puzzle pieces together? That's one thing that makes Dan Brown books better. The main character isn't a clueless schlub. He often brings new facts and wisdom to any fact-finding problem. In this case, though, the reader knows way too much more than the characters, and waiting for them to catch up is exhausting.
Has The Third Secret turned you off from other books in this genre?
No.
What character would you cut from The Third Secret?
The main character, the papal secretary. Replace him with someone with a brain.

Hates the Roman Catholic Church.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A different story.
What was most disappointing about Steve Berry’s story?
His deep seeded hatred for the Roman Catholic Church.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul Michael?
Perhaps.
What character would you cut from The Third Secret?
All of them.
Any additional comments?
I would suggest dropping this title from Audible given the author's motivation. If this title was written about any other organized religion, we would loose another ambassador.

The priest takes a lover
Is it really plausible for a vatican based priest to lose faith as fast as the main character in this book? He is sent on a quest by a pope he respects and is his mentor and what does he do? He immediately includes his former lover. If you can set aside all common sense and just sit back and enjoy - it's a great summer read.

If you don't mind........
.........reading the author's personal religious beliefs disguisd as a suspense novel, be my guest. Not up to Dan Brown standards. Forgeting that the story line is very unbeleivable, I don't like my suspense novels being op-ed pieces. Sorry, I really was looking for another DaVinci code but got a 12 hour editorial instead and I probably agree wih most of what the author is preaching.

a story to make red state Christians see red
Marian visions, apocalyptic prophecies, the politics of the Papacy, and tangible proof for the existence of God all add up to a new summer thriller in the genre of Dan Brown. This is a story that will make red state Christians see red. It will give conservative Catholics and the Christian right something new to scream about and condemn. For the rest of us it is a fast paced, fun and thought provoking read.

Starts out slow....
This was my first Steve Berry book. I found it very slow to get started, but once it did I really enjoyed it. I am presently listening to another of Steve's books and it seems to be a trend to start out slow. Worth a listen!

My first and last Steve Berry Book
I like to read several books by an author and get to know their style and flavor. One Steve Berry is one too many.
I really enjoyed The Third Secret until it revealed the missing part of that secret. Then I realized that what had been something of a glittering box of a story contained a lame, unimaginative nugget inside. After hearing that part, I just turned it off and went on to my next listen without even finishing the story. Just think about all the controversial topics within today's Catholic Church, pick the position opposite the Church, and that's The Third Secret. The conservatives are bad guys who kill people? C'mon, Steve, get a life (and some imagination)!

Berry at his best again....
Would you listen to The Third Secret again? Why?
Definitely. Steve Berry authors some fantastic stories, and this is no exception. Great insight into life within the Vatican. I just love the early religious based conspiracy theories and their development through the subsequent years.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Some great portrayals of life in the Vatican.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me want to research the various alleged sightings of the Virgin Mary. The subject matter was very compelling
Any additional comments?
Well worth a listen

convienient
A very enjoyable conspiracy story, although by the time you get to the 'third secrect' the revalation is a bit too convienient. Would love to know how accurate the portrayl of the workings of vatican city is, but fascinating none the less.

Sacrilegious
Catholics and those of Faith are likely to find The Third Secret as it is revealed in the novel to be sacrilegious. Despite this, the story itself by pace and tension was very good.

A great yarn
Expertly researched so far as the canon law & Marian visitations. The deaths of the Popes is incredulous but it is a story.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the Church followed the 3rd secret but it will never happen. So we will watch the continued death of the Catholic Church because of the views of unworldly men & some women.
