The Night Window: A Jane Hawk Novel

What started as one woman's determination to prove that her husband didn't commit suicide comes to a gripping conclusion in The Night Window. We're five books in at this point, and I'll admit that this series has been up and down for me - mostly up, but it has had its moments where I wasn't sure how much further these characters could go. As it turns out, Koontz proves once again that he knows his stuff. Jane is still as fierce and intelligent as she's been from the beginning, but we get to glimpse her softer side here as she gets some help she didn't expect and finds allies in unlikely places. At points in the series, I had some doubt about just how human Jane actually was, she was beginning to come across as almost machine-like, almost invincible, so I enjoyed seeing her a little vulnerable as she goes for broke and makes her final moves. The story is lengthy, and of course it's filled with a bit more colorful prose than absolutely necessary, but this is Dean Koontz after all. It's also not a book I would consider as a standalone. So many things had to happen to get to the events in The Night Window, so I would definitely recommend reading the series in order. That said, the whole series a story well-worth the reading time, especially if you enjoy techno-thrillers. All in all, Jane Hawk's story is another great in a long line of greats from this author.

What a riveting series! I could hardly put any of them down. No one writes as well as Dean Koontz. He is the best, even better than Robert Ludlum. No one can match how Dean weaves extensive research, current issues and trends, and what-if scenarios into such intense stories that are told in such clear style that does not distract the reader from the way the story is unfolding. The details he puts into the story, it's background, the characters, even the props...though complete and intricate, do not make the narrative burdensome. The best part of it all is that, as the reader gets to know the characters more, Dean never takes away hope and faith. These are the staple of human lives on the right road towards gaining meaningful insight despite the chaos and trouble that beset is all. Dean, your books are more than their weight in gold to me. Keep up the good work, and stay safe.

Wow! An amazing, twisted read. Loved this last Jane Hawk novel. The web of deceit spins out across the country, including congress, alphabet agency’s and down. The conclusion is not an easy one and leaves us with a few of the “bad” guys still in circulation. This is a fast paced story, keeping the reader on edge until the very end. An excellent read, do not miss this one.
