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.

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.
