Brought to you by Penguin.

Get ready for the unmissable new thriller from the #1 internationally bestselling author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

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, she’s still waiting for her life to begin. She’ll do it later, she always says. She has time.
Until, on the night of Halloween, Jet is violently attacked by an unseen intruder.
She suffers a catastrophic brain injury. The doctor is certain that within a week, she’ll suffer a deadly aneurysm.
Jet never thought of herself as having enemies. But now she looks at everyone in a new light: her family, her ex-best friend turned sister-in-law, her former boyfriend.
She only has 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.

Critics Review

A propulsive plot, where the pathos is fuel for real suspense, makes this perfect holiday fare - a genuine page-turner
Guardian
Suspenseful and compelling… [Jackson’s] sprightliness and pacing sustain the reader’s interest. The revelations come in a flood. Liberated into newfound bravery by her impending demise, Jet makes a winning, wisecracking heroine
The New York Times
This truly unique premise snowballs into a roller coaster ride of page-turning suspense and knock-out twists!
Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author
The queen of YA effortlessly conquers a whole new realm with her first adult novel. Propulsive, unputdownable and unexpectedly heart wrenching, Not Quite Dead Yet is a masterclass in thriller writing and an example of storytelling at its finest
Alex Michaelides, New York and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient
I felt all the emotions while reading Not Quite Dead Yet. It’s funny, touching, heartbreaking, thrilling and totally addictive. An original and unique thriller that I’ll be thinking about for a long time
Claire Douglas
I absolutely loved it: twisty, edgy, and with her trademark voice. It deserves to fly
Gillian McAllister
Not Quite Dead Yet is everything I love about Holly Jackson’s novels dialled up to eleven — a searingly clever premise, of course absolutely unputdownable, interspersed with her trademark humour, and with a protagonist in Jet that you can’t help rooting for. An instant classic
Amy McCulloch, author of Breathless and Runner 13
Fiercely original, wickedly clever, and so damn fun, Not Quite Dead Yet is a wild ride with a heroine you can't help but root for. It had me snickering, gasping, and flying through the chapters until the final page
Andrea Bartz, author of We Were Never Here and The Last Ferry Out
A thrilling, twisting, heartbreaker. Holly Jackson’s adult debut is fresh, fun and impossible to put down
Chris Whitaker
With all the pizzazz, poignancy, humour and ingenious plotting of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Not Quite Dead Yet sees Jackson graduating from YA fiction with distinction and aplomb
The Sunday Times
