About this listen

FBI special agent Mackenzie White finds herself summoned to crack a case she has never encountered before: the victim is not a man or a woman—but a couple. The third couple found dead in their homes this month.

As Mackenzie and the FBI scramble to figure out who would want happily-married couples dead, her search takes her deep into a disturbing world and subculture. She quickly learns that all is not what it seems behind the picket fences of perfectly-suburban homes—and that darkness lurks at the edge of even the happiest-seeming families. As her hunt morphs into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, Mackenzie, still struggling to find her own father’s killer, realizes she may be in too deep—and that the killer she seeks may be the most elusive of all: shockingly normal.

A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, Before He Needs is book #5 in a riveting new series—with a beloved new character—that will leave you listening late into the night. Book #6 in the Mackenzie White Mystery series will be available soon.

Great story I really enjoyed it. The characters were believable and likable. My only angst was the narration. I don't think she has the right voice for this particular story.
I found her voice very irritating, hence the 4 stars.
