At seven o'clock on that night in March, during a thunderless but heavy rain pounding as loud as an orchestra of kettledrums, Sara Holdsteck finally left the offices of Paradise Real Estate, carrying her brief case in her left hand, open purse slung over her left shoulder, right hand free for a cross-body draw of the gun in the purse. 1

I've read the first two books in the Jane Hawk series and have read the final book. I am not good a reading a series in the right order and often read books years apart. I will re-read the Jane Hawk series in order someday. I remember what happened in the books I did read so it's not like I was clueless when I read The Crooked Staircase. I loved this book. I love the series overall, the premise of controlling people who will bring about unprecedented change in society using nanomachines to remove their free will chills me to the bone. I've been reading Koontz for decades and he often writes about similar concepts. This is long book but the chapters are very short so the book is fast paced and quite a fast read. I didn't want to stop reading it. My heart was in my throat as I wondered what would happen.
