Publisher's Summary

An audio original novella featuring bestselling author Dean Koontz’s compelling new heroine, Jane Hawk. From the case files of the former FBI agent before she became the nation’s most wanted fugitive - The Bone Farm details a desperate man-hunt for a serial killer before he murders again.

Katherine Haskell, a young college co-ed is on her way back to school, but she never makes it there. Instead, she becomes the latest prey of the rapist and murderer dubbed by the tabloids the “Mother Hater.” He is a twisted soul who kidnaps young girls for pleasure then discards them.

Katherine is missing, but she’s not yet dead. FBI agents Jane Hawk and her partner Gary Burkett must descend into the hell of this killer’s mind to solve the case before it is too late. The question is - will they both get out alive?

not one of his best

I love reading dean koontz novels, especially the Jane Hawke series, but this was underwhelming. The narration / performance was monotone.

Disappointed

Usually love Dean Koontz, not sure it was the story or the reader, hard to get into

Great compact novel

I definitely enjoyed this novel over the Watchers novel previously listened to. It was much more focused and the action scenes stayed together and did not drift off into thoughts which had nothing to do with the action taking place. Glad I gave Dean Koontz another chance.

Great story, disappointing readers

Koontz certainly knows how to write a villain, or in this case two. And James Anderson Foster did a stellar job with his parts. Elisabeth Rodgers on the other hand was a bit robotic and I found myself tuning out the Jane Hawk segments of the story. I would have preferred reading this, and would have given it a 5/5.

Clever and suspenseful

as not to risk any spoilers I will just say, this story had me going in a few different directions as it went and compelled me to follow with anticipation and suspense. Good book

Not believable

Predictable and typical the story could have been good if there was more adversity to the main character. She was too super cop and figured everything out instantly. Maybe a longer story format would ad more flesh and reality

So Evocative

Of kootnz and how wonderful his writing always is. He and King are the top of their works and I LOVE the way his words flow.
