Robert I. Katz grew up on Long Island, graduated from Columbia in 1974 with a degree in English, and not encouraged by the job prospects for English majors at the time, went on to medical school at Northwestern, where in addition to his medical degree, he acquired a life-long love of deep dish pizza. Robert is a prolific author of both science fiction and thrillers. I am thrilled to find his review for my thriller novel, Overkill.

Overkill is the second book in the series, “Ash Suspense Thrillers with a Dash of Romance,” by Uvi Poznansky, following Coma Confidential. In the first book, Ash had awakened from a coma after suffering an assault and a rape. In this book, trying to get her life in order, she leaves her California home to spend some time in a rented cottage in Clearwater, Florida. Early in the book, she meets Paul Gore, an obviously disturbed young man who seems fascinated with Ash, and she meets Timmy, a neighbor whose brother has recently vanished. Ash strikes up a friendship with Timmy’s mother, Tracy, and winds up accepting an offer to tutor Timmy and also to conduct him to school each morning, since Tracy, bereft at losing her older son, is extremely concerned about Timmy’s welfare.
The book is well written. The characters are finely drawn and the plot makes sense, though it is somewhat predictable. Michael Morse, Ash’s boyfriend, who we met in the prior book, plays a small role. It’s a short book and easy to read and the very sad circumstances regarding what turns out to be a series of killings keeps the reader engrossed. I enjoyed Overkill and I’m looking forward seeing what the future holds for Michael and Ash.
