  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!   To say that I have enjoyed the Jane Hawk series is an understatement. Every book had left me exhilarated and with such excitement that I immediately went to the next book to see what would happen. Dean Koontz has taken the crime thriller and turned it upside down. Espionage, secret societies, rogue FBI agents, and adrenaline-fired action have left me breathless. I have recommended every book to my readers and to friends and family. Back in 2019, I was fortunate enough to receive an early copy thanks to Netgalley, and Penguin Random House. After four books, I was treated to a finale unlike any that I could have ever expected.    The Night Window is written by Dean Koontz, and it is published by Bantam Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. In this final installment of the widely popular thriller series, Jane Hawk is closer to her goal and ready to strike. After narrowly escaping the cabal known as the Techno...

                             Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!     With her husband killed by a secret society bent on ruling the country, Jane Hawk is on the run. She has been demonized by her adversaries and they have threatened her young child. But this "rogue" FBI agent is many steps ahead of them, as she gathers evidence to bring them down. It is a nail-biting roller-coaster ride of a series that came to an end in book five in May 2019. It is a series every crime thriller reader should experience. With that being said, let us delve into book four of this series.   The Forbidden Door is written by Dean Koontz. It is published by Bantam Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House Publishing. In this fourth installment of the widely popular crime thriller series, Jane Hawk is left with a disturbing scenario. After she survives her deadly battle with Booth Hend...

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!   Jane Hawk was introduced to me in the novella  the Bone Farm . From there I went on to read  the Silent Corner  and The Whispering Room. I became that reader that needed to keep going with this series because I knew that they would keep getting better and better. This adventure-espionage series has taken me on a roller coaster ride that I am not too eager to step off.      The Crooked Staircase is the third full-length Jane Hawk novel by Dean Koontz.
