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.

I fell in love with this story after reading the first book. A week later I'm already on this 5th book. This particular one was very intriguing. Will definitely listen to again in the future. A lot of people complain about the narrator being British while the MC is a white woman from Nebraska. Admittedly, this does not bother me. I actually find it quite charming. She narrates well. My only complaint is that these books are becoming shorter and shorter.

This entire series has a hold on me and I’m loving being able to binge them. Excellent storytelling & excellent narration! I never felt like the story dragged on or took a long time starting. It got me from the start!

Another gripping suspense!
