Overkill

Overkill was the first book I read by author Sandra Brown, and it was such a rollercoaster ride. Although Zach and his ex-wife Rebecca had a tumultuous relationship, Zach doesn’t wish her any harm and is saddened at the fact that he is the one to make the decision as to whether or not she should be kept on life support after she is found unresponsive at a party. Four years go by, and the man who was put in prison for doing this to Rebecca, an evil egotistical man, Eban Clarke, is released. Because he did not kill her, he did not get a murder sentence. Prosecutor Kathryn Lennon is ready to convince Zach that pulling Rebecca off of life support could put Eban back behind bars with a murder sentence. Readers will find themselves in a moral dilemma when reading this book. There are some shady characters, and even Zach is a little too big for his britches. The story moves quickly and will make its readers guess what Kate and Zach’s next move will be. A fantastic and action-packed suspense thriller.
