The main character Mackenzie White just annoyed me and when she didn't she kind of just fell flat. The mystery was interesting enough but I read crime fiction for a combination of the characters and mystery. It doesn't have to wax on about the characters lives but I do like to get some insight, see the drive and motivation and for me, it just wasn't there in Mackenzie or the few supporting characters. ( ) FROM AMAZON: In the cornfields of Nebraska a woman is found murdered, strung up on a pole, the victim of a deranged killer. It doesn’t take long for the police to realize a serial killer is on the loose—and that his spree has just begun. Detective Mackenzie White, young, tough, smarter than the aging, chauvinistic men on her local force, finds herself called in grudgingly to help solve it. As much as the other officers hate to admit it, they need her young, brilliant mind, which has already helped crack cold cases that had left them stumped. Yet even for Mackenzie this new case proves an impossible riddle, something the likes of which she—and the local force—have ever seen. With the FBI called in, together, an intense manhunt ensues. Mackenzie, reeling from her own dark past, her failed relationships, and her undeniable attraction to the new FBI agent, finds herself battling her own demons as her hunt for the killer takes her to the darkest places of her mind. As she delves into the killer’s mind, obsessing over his twisted psychology, she finds that evil truly does exist. She only hopes it will not be too late to extricate herself from it, as her entire life collapses around her. As more bodies turn up dead and a frantic race against time ensues, there is no way out but to find him before he kills again. A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, BEFORE HE KILLS marks the debut of a riveting new series—and a beloved new character—that will leave you turning pages late into the night. This starts with one of those deep seated mystery tropes/clichés: Young woman detective who's treated badly because she rose quickly in the ranks and is good at her job, bucking against the male status quo. The trope continues throughout the book, with the old boys network fighting their good sense and still giving the main character complements. If the mystery itself hadn't been an interesting twist, I'd have dumped it by now. Speaking of the murder - The initial scene with the detectives finding the body is a gruesome description of the murder. At first, I felt scared that The ending is good enough that I have the next book in the series waiting, but I'm not holding my breath that the standard clichés don't continue. 20% in and so far I'm annoyed. Mackenzie's partner is a jackass. I hope she shows him what's up. Infuriating men thinking women can't do things as well as them. 40% in now and oh boy this new juicy guy from the FBI seems to be just what Mackenzie needs. Now if only she could get rid of the baggage she calls the boyfriend. So right now I obviously have no idea who the murderer is but I believe he does it for religious reasons. The line of work the women are in leads me to believe that, now if only I could figure out the numbers on the poles, maybe bible verses??? 75% in now: **"And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest." ** I KNEW IT!!!!! So I have a feeling 1 of 2 things will happen here. Mackenzie is either going to leave to check out the "other lead" OR something is going to go wrong and they're not going to get the guy, maybe Mackenzie is the one he has his eyes set on? Guess I need to find out! ******Finally done. So this may not have been my favorite series by Blake Pierce but this is probably my 2nd out of the 3 I've read so far. The detail he puts into these books is really amazing. Makes me wonder how a writer has that many in depth details in his head for so many different mystery/suspense stories. I liked how this book took on a more religious tone it was very well thought out. Defiantly a great read. I LOVED the character Mackenzie, strong, smart as hell and fierce. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: De la mano de Blake Pierce, el autor número 1 en éxitos de ventas, llega una nueva serie de misterio que hará que se acelere su corazón. Se encuentra el cadáver de una mujer en los maizales de Nebraska, atado a un poste, víctima de un asesino perturbado. No pasa mucho tiempo antes de que la policía caiga en la cuenta de que hay un asesino en serie que está suelto—y que la matanza no ha hecho más que empezar. A la detective Mackenzie White, joven, decidida, más preparada que los hombres chapados a la antigua de su comisaría local, le encargan con cierta reticencia su resolución. Por mucho que los demás agentes odien admitirlo, necesitan de sus ideas jóvenes y originales, que ya han logrado solucionar casos sin resolver que les han dejado sin palabras. No obstante, este caso demuestra ser un rompecabezas imposible hasta para Mackenzie, algo con lo que ni ella—ni la policía local—se ha topado jamás. Cuando llaman al FBI, comienza una gran persecución conjunta. Mackenzie, sacudida por su propio oscuro pasado, sus relaciones fallidas, y la innegable atracción que siente por el nuevo agente del FBI, se enfrenta a sus propios demonios al tiempo que la persecución del asesino le lleva hasta los recesos más oscuros de su mente. A medida que se adentra en la mente del asesino, llegando a obsesionarse con su psicología perturbada, se da cuenta de que el mal, sin duda, existe. Solo espera que no sea demasiado tarde como para librarse de él, mientras toda su vida se desmorona a su alrededor. Cuando aparecen más cadáveres y, a consecuencia de ello, comienza una frenética carrera contra el reloj, no hay otra salida más que encontrarle antes de que mate de nuevo. Un oscuro thriller psicológico con un suspense que acelera el corazón, ANTES DE QUE MATE marca el debut de una nueva y excitante serie—con un nuevo y apreciado personaje—que le tendrá pasando páginas hasta altas horas de la noche. El Libro #2 de la serie de misterio Mackenzie White saldrá a la venta muy pronto. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
