Not Quite Dead Yet
In seven days, Jet Mason will be dead. Twenty-seven years old and heir to one of the wealthiest families in Woodstock, Vermont, Jet has always believed her real life hasn’t started yet. There’s plenty of time for dreams, for change, for answers. Until Halloween night. An unseen attacker leaves Jet with a catastrophic brain injury. Doctors are certain: within a week, a fatal aneurysm will take her life. Now, time is the one thing she doesn’t have. As the days slip away, Jet begins to question everything — her powerful family, her ex-best friend turned sister-in-law, her former boyfriend. People she trusted. People who may have wanted her dead. With only her loyal childhood friend Billy by her side, Jet makes one final decision. If she’s going to die in seven days, she’s going to spend them solving her own murder. Because the truth won’t die with her.
About Author
Holly Jackson has revitalized the young adult mystery genre with her intricately plotted, contemporary thrillers that combine authentic teen voices with sophisticated crime storytelling. Her debut 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' launched an international phenomenon, spending years on bestseller lists and inspiring a television adaptation, while introducing protagonist Pip Fitz-Amobi who uses modern technology and true crime podcast techniques to solve cold cases. Jackson's background in English literature and linguistics informs her careful plotting and character development, with each novel featuring maps, transcripts, and multimedia elements that enhance the investigative narrative. The subsequent books in her trilogy—'Good Girl, Bad Blood' and 'As Good as Dead'—maintain the high stakes while exploring darker themes as her protagonist becomes increasingly entangled in the crimes she investigates. Jackson's success demonstrates the ongoing appeal of clever, puzzle-box mysteries for teen readers and her ability to modernize classic detective fiction structures for the digital age.
