![]() ![]() And finally, the climax is hits you like a splash of ice cold northern Pacific water. The plot twists and winds like the streets of San Francisco. Overall, the suspense is as high as the California mountains. The two become intertwined leaving us with chapter after chapter of “whodunit” moments. Gabriel’s psychological mysteries are juxtaposed against the murder mystery he’s investigating. His psychiatrist suspects PTSD stemming from some repressed memory. The main character, Gabriel, is an LA cop on the edge. Laurie Stevens sticks to the basics allowing her story to engage the reader with suspense and plot twists that keep you guessing until the last page. In my humble opinion an example would be Stieg Larson with his popular The Girl with the Golden Tatoo like books. I also like that she didn’t follow the trend of murder mysteries being so over the top sexually perverse and gruesome that it gives you nightmares. I like that Laurie Stevens avoids some of the trends of many contemporary authors where each chapter speaks from a different character’s point of view (think – Jodi Picoult style). It is written in a classic 3 rd person style throughout. ![]() The Dark Before Dawn is a complex, engaging murder mystery.
