The Crooked Staircase: A Jane Hawk Novel
By: Dean Koontz
Rating: 5 of 5
I started this series with the second book (“The Whispering Room”) and was blown away by both the story and author Dean Koontz’ writing style. When I received this book, “The Crooked Staircase”, I was a tad bit afraid that it would not live up to the predecessor. It is even better.
I think it can be read standalone but reading the whole series lets you grow alone with Jane and to meet individuals who might not make it to the next book.
Jane has discovered a secret society that is intent on ruling the world. They do so by hand-picking a very select few members and more, by enslaving or having others killed. The premise of the book, the nanotechnology, while still science fiction, is not so fair afield that one can imagine that one day this story line could read as true. Jane is determined to stop these people, even if the cost is her own life.
Once I had read the second book in the series, I purchased the Kindle version of the first book. I want to know how it all began. I am already looking forward to the next book as well.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
