Resumen del Editor

In this powerful K-9 crime thriller, FBI Special Agent Meg Jennings and her trusted search-and-rescue Labrador, Hawk, must race against the clock before a diabolical killer strikes again.

Somewhere in the Washington, DC, area, a woman lies helpless in a box. Beneath the earth. Barely breathing. Buried alive. In Quantico, the FBI receives a coded message from the woman's abductor. He wants to play a game with them: decipher the clues, find the grave, save the girl. The FBI's top cryptanalysts crack the code, and Special Agent Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, scramble to the scene of the crime. Cryptic clues lead them astray, and by the time they solve the puzzle, it's too late.

But the killer's game is far from over. Soon another message arrives. Another victim is taken, and the deadly pattern is repeated - again and again. Each kidnapping triggers another desperate race against time, each with the possibility of another senseless death. That's when Meg decides to try something drastic. Break the Bureau's protocol. Bring in her brilliant sister, Cara, a genius at word games, to decipher the kidnapper's twisted clues. Meg knows she's risking her career to do it, but she's determined not to let one more person die under her and Hawk's watch. If the plan fails, it could bite them in the end.

And if it leads to the killer, it could bury them forever.

Another great story

My second Sara Driscoll book. Loved it ! Great story with Hawk starring as the smart canine he is assisting with the FBI investigation

love the series

I listened to her first book and while it isn't necessary to read the first book in the series, it does help. The story let's you in on Meg and her dog Hawk and how she goes up against a killer who is kidnapping women who look like her. He leaves clues and challenges her and her team to find them. The tidbits of history the author put at the front of each chapter was fantastic and it gave you more information on why the killer picked the site and method. Am looking forward to her next book

loved it.

love the little historical details. I am in the area the books take place so it's fun to hear about the history. the story is engaging and I really like the characters.

Mystery and Suspense!

Enjoyed the book and the complications in the storyline! The intrigue, romance and intertwining sub stories were enjoyable.

Great Story!

Another great story and performance. I’m enjoying the characters and can’t wait to read the next story.

Wish I could give it 6 stars

First, I love working dogs and their handlers and the team that they form. Hawk and Meg make a wonderful team. Next, I love the family interaction, and bringing back characters from the first book.

The amount of research that was done for ‘Before It’s Too Late’ is remarkable and it makes the book real. I am finding it hard to say much more because I don’t want to give anything away. You need to give it a listen. Angela Dawe does a fabulous job as she always does.

Excellent!

Kept me on the edge of my seat. Performance was great! I highly recommend it.

Overall a good story though unrealistic

This is the 2nd book in this series that I’ve listened too. I enjoyed the first one more. I think that the story is unrealistic. That said as a pure fiction book it was pretty good.
The sound in the narration was off though. It would get very quiet for 5-10 seconds then bad to a normal level. It was frustrating at times as it was throughout the reading of the book.

Really enjoyed it! Great listen

I really enjoyed this one! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. I was definitely engaged with Meg and her K-9 partner Hawk from the very beginning. This can be read as a standalone but I had read the 1st in the series prior to and as you know the characters it does give some added enjoyment and engagement early on. This story starts hitting close to home for Meg very quickly as the messages are addressed to her and the victims look like her as well. She is determined to find the victims and not lose anymore and does what it takes in order to make that happen. The story was very interesting and I loved the connections they made and how they had to figure out the clues and connections to the civil war. Things developed well and I am excited for more stories in the series. 4.75 stars
The narrator did a good job adding that extra dynamic and helping to bring the story to life.

Awesome book. EJ

I didn’t know if I would enjoy this book, but I was totally surprised. It was amazing and all the characters were perfect. Can’t wait to read the next book.☺️
