Book Review…Overkill by Sandra Brown
Zach Bridger is shocked to receive a call saying Rebecca his ex wife has been placed on life support after a violent assault, and despite their divorce has medical power-of-attorney. Four years later, Rebecca's attacker, Eban the scion of a wealthy family in Atlanta gets an early release from prison. The ludicrous miscarriage of justice reeks of favoritism, and Kate Lennon, the state prosecutor, is determined to put him back behind bars. Rebecca’s parents have kept her alive all these years, but if her condition were to change if she were to die Eban could be retried for murder. Zach rejects Kate’s legal standpoint but can’t resist their attraction to each other. Eban, having realized the jeopardy he’s in, plots to make certain that neither Zach nor Kate lives to see the death of Rebecca and the end of his freedom.
Sandra Brown has always been one of my favorite authors. I never have a problem getting lost in the pages of her books and Overkill was no different for me! Brown has definitely turned up the heat in this one! But it fits perfectly with what's going on. The story is a thought provoking one. It definitely has you wondering what you would do if you were in Zachs shoes. For the most part it's fast-paced and at times intense. The bad guy in this story, Eban , was just pure evil but I think he was probably my favorite. Overall it's a great read in classic Sandra Brown style! Thank you Grand Central Publishing for sharing this book with me!
