Before He Sees

A Mackenzie White Mystery, Book 2

De: Blake Pierce

Narrado por: Elaine Wise

FBI agent-in-training Mackenzie White struggles to make her mark in the FBI Academy in Quantico, trying to prove herself as a woman and as a transplant from Nebraska. Hoping she has what it takes to become an FBI agent and leave her life in the Midwest behind for good, Mackenzie just wants to keep a low profile and impress her superiors.

But all that changes when the body of a woman is found in a garbage dump. The murder bears shocking similarities to the Scarecrow Killer - the case that made Mackenzie famous in Nebraska - and in the frantic race against time to stop a new serial killer, the FBI decides to break protocol and give Mackenzie a chance on the case.

It is Mackenzie's big break, her chance to impress the FBI - but the stakes have never been higher. Not everyone wants her on the case, and everything she touches seems to go wrong. As the pressure mounts and the killer strikes again, Mackenzie finds herself as a lone voice in a sea of experienced agents, and she soon realizes she is in way over her head. Her entire future with the FBI is in jeopardy.

As tough and determined as Mackenzie is, as brilliant as she is in hunting down killers, this new case proves an impossible riddle, something just beyond her reach. She may not even have time to crack it as her own life falls apart around her.

Narrator's. Voice does not fit storyline

I could have enjoyed this story but why on earth would they have someone with a full English accent read this? It threw it off for me and was a huge distraction. Otherwise the story was an ok read.

Performance Inconsistent with Story!

A story set in DC about a female police officer from Minnesota becoming an FBI agent and solving serial killer cases is right up my alley! However, the performance was so incongruous with the story, I couldn't stay focused on it. All of the characters had British/Irish accents!!!! They are US FBI agents living in DC speaking with heavy accents! It was sooooooo distracting.

This pretty good novella

loses impact as Pierce tries to turn it into to a full length novel. Interesting plot, stretched out by some unbelievable buracracy. Sympathetic and believable shero from book 1 of the series starts becoming a pitiful girl who makes bad choices by the middle of this story, book 2.

British accent?

Interesting characters and pretty engaging story but the British accent and pronunciation was disconcerting. Is only an issue on audio book.

good book

loved it, buying the series, i feel being its set in america with fbi agents, the narrator shouldn't be British, although her reading is superb. she really makes it exciting the accent is just off.
