Publisher's summary

From Blake Pierce, best-selling author of Once Gone (a number one best seller with over 600 five-star reviews), comes book three in the heart-pounding Mackenzie White mystery series.

In Before He Covets, newly minted FBI agent Mackenzie White graduates the FBI Academy in Quantico only to find herself thrown into an urgent serial killer case. Women are turning up dead while camping in a remote national park in West Virginia. Yet the park is vast, and no connection can be found between them.

At the same time, Mackenzie receives a call from Nebraska urging her to come home. After many years, a new clue has surfaced about her father's murder. The case no longer cold, Mackenzie desperately needs to help solve it.

But the FBI's killer is ratcheting up, and there is no time for distraction as more women turn up missing in the psychological game of cat-and-mouse that follows. This killer is more diabolical - and smarter - than Mackenzie could have imagined. As she goes down a road she fears to travel - deep into her own psyche - she finds a double twist waiting for her that even she could not expect.

A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, Before He Covets is book three in a riveting new series - with a beloved new character - that will leave you listening late into the night.

Narrator

I liked the storyline very much but the narrator detracted so much from the story. She had a very pleasant voice but seemed to have only two different character voices. I found the discrepancy between her narration and the action in the story to be very distracting to the point that I fastforwarded through some of the paragraphs. I meant to rate the overall only a 3 but my stylus stuck. For these reasons I would not recommend this book and I probably will not read any more of the series.

the accent

story takes place in the USA, all characters are American so why do all the characters have a English accent

Blake Pierce before he covets

Just can't put them down, enjoy listening to each book. On to the next book.

Love this Author

I am binging on all his novels.
A true page turner, good plot twists.
Perfect narrator for this piece.

Quantico imagination

Having lived in Hertfordshire England and now between Quantico Virginia and Strasbourg Virginia I have to admit having an English narrator read a story based in Virginia cracked me up. Unless you grew up in Hertfordshire and moved to Virginia I can attest that none of us in Virginia drop our double consonants bottle vs bah-al. Quantico is a little tiny town in the middle of the Marine base and good luck finding a Starbucks LOL. I still enjoyed the story line, but every character in the story having an English accent made me laugh.

Narrator takes me right out of the story

The reader is British, the character is from Nebraska- it’s just nonsensical. I cannot even get into the plot due to the
