  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.

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!     The crime thriller has always been a favorite genre of mine. I love to pick up a suspenseful novel and settle into the experience and drama of a good cop novel. While I was searching for a new book to round out my reading to ten books for January 2019, I noticed that Dean Koontz was featuring a short work with his character Jane Hawk for free on audiobook. I could not resist. And I was happy that I read this exciting case file and went on to read the entire series in just a few months.     The Bone Farm is written by Dean Koontz and acts as a prelude to his Jane Hawk series of books. It is presented on audiobook by Brilliance Audio and is read by Elisabeth Rodgers and James Anderson Foster.
