Very Nearly Dead 

BLURB

Jasmine Black, a 34-year-old alcoholic, criminal lawyer, has a secret.

At the age of 16 she was a member of a gang of youths. The gang attacked a boy and his girlfriend. The boy was killed in the attack, and the girl was so badly injured that she fell into a coma and never recovered. Jasmine, although present during the attack, didn’t hurt anyone. She has concealed the crime for eighteen years out of fear of retribution if she talks.

But as members of the gang start being killed one by one, Jasmine fears for her own life.

Desperate to uncover who is responsible for the murders Jasmine starts to investigate.

But can she uncover the truth before it’s too late?

And can she escape with her life and conscience intact?

MY REVIEW

This is a debut novel by a husband and wife.

Jasmine Black is an alcoholic lawyer who’s life is falling down around her.

Her past is coming back to haunt her and as each of the people involved in an incident many years ago are dying will she be next?

Although I didn’t find this a gripping read I did enjoy it. Towards the end it did step up. Looking forward to reading more from this duo in the future.
