Wow talk about several cases going on all at one time. This is such a great story, and I loved that there was so much going on while also still being able to fully understand and separate the different aspects of the cases. I finished this in one sitting; I could not stop. The characters are great and the fact that you question who committed what crime the entire time add to how interesting the book is. I also love that the perspectives are easy to understand, and you are able to feel like you are with that character feeling what they are feeling while the investigations are going on. Great detective and mystery book.

 I had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Overkill by J.A. Jance, and I really enjoyed it. The story weaves together several seemingly separate murders that ultimately connect in a compelling and mysterious way. The pacing was strong, making it a quick and engaging read.

This was my first time reading a book by J.A. Jance, and I was immediately drawn in by the writing style—it was smooth, immersive, and reminded me of other authors whose work consistently captures my attention. The plot was well-structured, and the characters felt grounded, which added to the overall impact of the story. I’m definitely looking forward to exploring more of Jance’s books in the future!
