Super fun read! A dark premise but a thrilling mystery which I didn’t figure out 😀 almost all the characters were bad people in one way or another, but you still rooted for the right thing to happen. Recommend it!

Blisteringly paced and wickedly clever, Not Quite Dead Yet is the kind of book that laughs at your confident theories and then smacks you with a twist you never saw coming. Just when you think, ah yes, I’ve solved it, Holly Jackson basically says, lol, no you haven’t.
But this isn’t just a murder mystery built to toy with your detective skills. It’s also surprisingly uplifting, peppered with moments of sweetness and laugh-out-loud humor that keep it from ever feeling heavy. The characters aren’t cardboard cutouts—they’re messy, lovable, and often very funny, which makes the more heartfelt turns land even harder.
So yes, it’s a twisty whodunnit. But it’s also an inspirational, reflective, occasionally goofy rollercoaster that proves a murder mystery can have both brains and heart. Consider me thoroughly entertained (and thoroughly humbled by how wrong my guesses were).
