All I can say is that this series keeps getting better and better , with that said thinks netgalley for giving me the chance at reading and review The Crooked Staircase.

Of all Dean's books these of Jane Hawk are my favorite! A woman as the main subject who is tough, strong and a loving mother who will do anything to keep her child safe. How could you go wrong with this? I am sitting on the edge of the book thru the entire story but when I get close to the end then I don't want it to end!! I have been so lucky to get a chance to read this book before being published. Thank you so much! I finished it within 2 days. Jane has such bad evil people she is facing down but she is so tough and nothing will stop her! The story never gets boring or slow, just keeps you in suspense. I really recommend reading in order if possible but if you can't it is still a great read. Keep writing and hurry up. LOL FANTASTIC!

This is one of my favorite new series! I recommend it to our patrons! This book had some sadness though. I can’t wait for the next one.

Every Dean Koontz book I have reviewed has received a five star rating. This book was a disappointment. Two main areas that led me to a three star rating. The first was the whole storyline with the twins. It did not add to the story but just took up pages. It was never integrated into the total story. Seemed like the purpose was to take up pages in order to provide a reason for a follow up book. Secondly, towards the end of the book there was no reason why Jane did not kill Hendrickson after he was no use to her and he had turned violent again. Only served the purpose of adding more pages to the book. Despite these negatives, I will be looking forward to the next book in this series.

Big name author usually means t the very least good writing, and this for sure does not disappoint. For all her agony, I loved Jane and how smart she was. I get so tired of incredible heroes who get outsmarted just before the end. She was thoughtful and thorough and didn't let herself get in trouble despite plenty opportunities to slip up.
Its a great, if horrifying story, well told. It was a bit long and tragic in lots of ways.
Good to read, thanks netgalley.

Having not read the previous two book was I uncertain if I would be able to read this and enjoy it but was happy to find out it COULD be read as a stand alone if need be. There was enough background information provided to limit any confusion for first time readers new to the character Jane Hawk. The writing, as always, was well done and the pace was such that I could barely put it down and finished it in a day.

Jane Hawkins returns in her third storyline. She’s still doing her best to uncover and end a conspiracy that has caused a spate of murder suicides, including one that took the life of her husband. This time, Jane is aiming at the very pinnacle of the conspiracy, a man with a ferocious private army that will stop at nothing to see Jane dead. Koontz knows what readers want, and he’s been providing it for over thirty years. This series proves the guy still has his mojo and readers will eat it up
