From the#1 New York Times bestselling author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

The stunning hardcover of Not Quite Dead features a custom-stamped case, beautiful endpapers, and a premium dust jacket!

In seven days Jet Mason will be dead.

Jet is the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Woodstock, Vermont. Twenty-seven years old and back living with her parents, she's still waiting for her life to begin. I'll do it later, she always says. She has time.

Until Halloween night, when she is violently attacked by an unseen intruder, suffering a catastrophic head injury. Doctors are certain that within a week, the injury will trigger a deadly aneurysm.

Jet never thought of herself as having enemies. But now she looks at everyone in a new light: her family, her former best friend turned sister-in-law, her ex-boyfriend.

She has at most seven days, and as her condition deteriorates, she has only her childhood friend Billy for help. But nevertheless, she's absolutely determined to finally finish something:

Jet is going to solve her own murder.

Jamie’s review

THIS is a page turner, holy shit. I could not put this down. Jet is 27 and is attacked in her home one night. She wakes up and finds out she has one week before a brain aneurysm will rupture and surgery only has 10% survival odds. She decides to live out the week and solve her own murder, with the help of her childhood friend Billy.

Is it realistic that Jet can endure a traumatic brain injury and still run around town playing detective? No. Did I foresee who the murderer was before the end? Yes. HOWEVER, the twists and turns are so good and keep you guessing the whole time. Also, I love Jet, Billy, and Reggie the dog ❤️

Even though there were some loose ends and unrealistic plot elements, I had so much fun reading this.
