Loading... Dead Girl Walkingby Roberta Gately
None No current Talk conversations about this book.  StressedRach | Jun 14, 2023 |    ) Catherine_Dilts | Feb 25, 2022 | This book was only okay, not suspenseful by my standards. Jessie was more concerned which police officer she was going to hook up with and how her makeup looked. Where she was smart, she also appeared high maintenance and it drove me nuts. I lost count the number of times she "touched up her makeup", how does she have time for that? When her apartment starts getting broken into and all the sudden her work schedule disappears, she just shrugs it off and says "Well I don't need it anyway". Where she is smart in some areas, she's completely stupid in others. The reader knew throughout the entire book who was to blame, that was obvious. I wish I could have enjoyed this more, but I didn't. Thank you NetGalley for another book for my honest review. (  ) JamieR78 | Jan 2, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesJessie Novak (1)
"911. What's your emergency?" "He came for her. She's been shot," says a desperate voice, as footsteps echo down an alley. "She's dying." "Oh no, oh no, he's coming back. Please, come quickly--" And then a click, and the drone of a dial tone. The beautiful young woman on the stretcher could be on her honeymoon. Chestnut hair tumbles around a pretty face, rose petals tangled in the loose strands. But the bandage around her forehead tells a different tale, as Emergency Room Nurse Jessie Novak desperately battles to keep her alive. Jessie's thoughts are racing-who shot this beautiful young woman and more importantly, why? Ann Hart's life hangs by a thread, and Jessie cannot bear to see this beautiful young woman die without justice being done. Being a nurse is like hunting for clues, and Jessie is sure she can find the person who hurt Ann. She also asks her friend Detective Sam Dallas for help digging into Ann's past. But then Jessie receives a gift that sends shivers up her spine: a huge bouquet of blood-red roses, just like the ones in Ann's hair... As the first snowflakes start to fall, another body turns up. Jessie is sure that she's in danger too-since the roses, someone has been watching her... Sam is reluctant to see the link but Jessie knows she must find the culprit before he strikes again. He is stalking her through the frozen streets and he doesn't want his fun to stop. Can Jessie turn the tables on the killer, or is she just a dead girl walking? A totally addictive mystery novel that will leave you gasping for breath and have your heart thumping! Fans of Lisa Regan, Gregg Olsen and Tess Gerritsen will be completely hooked.

Jessie can’t understand it, it doesn’t make sense and thinks Rob had something to do with it and starts delving but as she investigates and helps the police as much as she can, telling them her own suspicions she finds that she could be in danger too when strange things start happening at her home.
This was a great read, I liked Jessie Novak’s character and how she was determined to find out the real reason for the shooting and the death of Ann Hart but at the same time putting herself in a dangerous situation too.
It was a book that I didn’t want to put down, and although I found that my suspicions about someone was right it did not spoil the story. It just made me read it faster to see if I was right.
Overall I enjoyed reading it, it was different, fresh and I'm looking forward to the next instalment in the series.
