When the body of a young mother is found on the banks of New Zealands Mataura River, young female police constable Sam Shephard begins an investigation, with horrifying and very personal implications. Book one in an addictive, atmospheric new series.*** SHORTLISTED for the CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger 2019******SHORTLISTED for the Ngaio Marsh Award***The tensions within a tightknit village, along with various aspects of Kiwi society, are laid out with real authority, but it is Symons copper Sam, self-deprecating and very human, who represents the writers real achievement Guardian Lively evocation of small-town life, with a plot that grabs the readers attention with a heart-stopping opening and doesnt let go The TimesAn achievement that blends heart-stopping thrills with deep, believable characters in a stark New Zealand setting. It will leave readers reaching for the next Sam Shephard mystery Foreword ReviewsWhen the body of a young mother is found washed up on the banks of the Mataura River, a small rural community is rocked by her tragic suicide. But all is not what it seems.Sam Shephard, sole-charge police constable in Mataura, soon discovers the death was no suicide and has to face the realisation that there is a killer in town. To complicate the situation, the murdered woman was the wife of her former lover. When Sam finds herself on the list of suspects and suspended from duty, she must cast aside her personal feelings and take matters into her own hands.To find the murderer and clear her name.A taut, atmospheric and page-turning thriller, Overkill marks the start of an unputdownable and unforgettable series from one of New Zealands finest crime writers.A sassy heroine, fabulous sense of place, and rip-roaring stories with a twist Kate MosseSymon has created a compelling series lead, and her treatment of small-town New Zealand is superbly atmospheric. This ones a cracker Liam McIlvanneyOverkill certainly feels like the beginning of something great. Its a clever first novel and a dark thriller thats well-paced and well-plotted with a satisfying and fitting ending CultureFlySymon nicely balances action, character and story in a well-drawn rural setting, and realistically speckles the book with light-hearted moments and humour throughout Kiwi CrimePowerful, coolly assured, and an absolute belter of a read LoveReadingThe key to the novel for me is definitely the humorous portrayal of the one-woman police band, both extremely naive and too eager to prove herself in the eyes of her superiors and against the silent backdrop of her parents disappointment Crime ReviewWith a twisty plot, a protagonist who shines and beautifully written observations of the cruellest things, Overkill is crime fiction at its best and this is an outstanding book. I predict that this series is going to soar here in the UK and it deserves to Crime WatchThe authors style of storytelling is smooth and engaging, making Overkill very easy to read, which is enough to keep you cranking through the pages. The ending is a cracker Well look forward to the next in the series because with the authors storytelling skills, the first is a pleasure to read Crime Fiction LoverOverkill is Symons first novel, but it reads like the polished effort of a genre veteran. More, please Booklist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
