Story
In Before He Feels, FBI Special Agent Mackenzie White is stunned to be assigned a case with victims matching no profile she has ever seen: Shockingly, all of the victims are blind. Does this mean that the killer himself is blind, too? Plunged into the subculture of the blind, Mackenzie struggles to understand, finding herself out of her element as she crisscrosses the state, racing from group homes to private houses, interviewing caretakers, librarians, experts, and psychologists. And yet, despite the best minds in the country, Mackenzie seems unable to prevent the killings.

Story
In Before He Hunts, victims are turning up dead in FBI Special Agent Mackenzie White’s home state of Nebraska - all shot in the back of the head, and all bearing the card “Barker Antiques.” The same card her father’s murderer left on his body years ago. With a sudden urgency in the present, the time has finally come for Mackenzie to face her ghosts, to face her darkest past, and to find her father’s killer. But her trip back down memory lane may take her to places she’d rather not see, and to discoveries she’d rather not find.

Story
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.

Story
FBI agent Mackenzie White is reluctant to return to the Midwest, this time to a starkly rural setting that reminds her too much of her upbringing, of her own ghosts in her closet. She also seeks her own father's murderer, with darkness haunting her at every turn of her trip. Plunged deep into the world of farms, of silos, of slaughterhouses, of long stretches on empty highways, Mackenzie feels as if she's falling back into the depths of her psyche, and into the nightmares she always feared to face.

A good series
I have really enjoyed these books, but getting a little bored, the crimes and places change, but the plot is almost the same in each one. Blake Pierce needs to find another plot once in awhile.
