If you were enthralled with Threshold you've got to pick up Just Before the Dawn. This is where the story of Honey McGuinness continues to unfold. It's just as dramatic, gritty and punchy as the first. I equally like to see good reviews of http://www.bonniekozek.com/index.html work because she’s just so freaking talented.

So, I was absolutely thrilled to find your review of the book. Like yourself, I think Kozek is a masterful writer of the genre. She expertly utilizes and manipulates the unique monosyllabic language of the noir crime thriller, and manages to stand the stereotypical treatment of "women" usually found in books of this genre (Chandler, Thompson, Willeford, etc.) on its head. Plus I found the writing unexpectedly lyrical and literary in part. I literally picked the book up and didn't put it down until I was finished! I'm a prolific reader, and believe me, this doesn't happen very often. So, I can't wait for the next book -- which, according to the author's website, will be published this year. Your review of Threshold is right-on. You really captured the unhinged and vulnerable character of the protagonist, the grittiness of setting, and a bit of the plot ... without giving away too much. Thanks for giving Kozek the attention she deserves. I read Threshold about a month ago and I’ve been recommending it to anyone who will listen to me.
