Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  AceFeminist | Dec 7, 2018 |   Ellie wakes up in the river and doesn't remember how she got there. When she gets home she realizes she's dead and remembers someone holding her underwater. She can't sleep or eat and pretty much everyone says she looks awful. Ellie decides to investigate her death. She puts the usual suspects on her list- boyfriend, best friend, best friend's boyfriend, brother and weird guy who works a the diner. Her drowning coincides with one year anniversary of the death of her brother's girlfriend, Sarah. Sarah was also found drowned in the river. Before Ellie is able to solve the mystery another girl goes missing. I definitely recommend the book. It was a quick read and I didn't want to stop until everything was revealed. I enjoyed the story, characters and writing style. I have enjoyed the previous Kerry Wilkinson books that I read and look forward to reading more. There's always a mystery to solve and twists and turns that you didn't expect. Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author, Kerry Wilkinson, for a free electronic ARC of this novel.

Along with wondering what exactly brought her back to life, she also has to confront the fact that the killer might be someone close to her. Further, she might not even be his first victim. Last year, around the same time, someone she knew had been murdered the exact same way.
The Death and Life of Eleanor Parker follows Eleanor as she tries to piece together the events of the previous evening to find her killer. Occasionally, she ponders about her existence as an un-dead person. Sleep, hunger and human emotions are evading her, and her body is slowly disintegrating.
Finding her own killer becomes non-negotiable for Eleanor when another girl is taken, and her brother Oliver comes under suspicion.
This book falls somewhere at the intersection of YA fiction and crime fiction, and has a hint of supernatural bent to it. There are some questions left unanswered at the end, or vaguely resolved at best.
The prose helps you get through the book quite easily, however, despite the above mentioned gripes. It is a quick, engaging read.
Thank you to the author, the publishers and Netgalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. (
