    I love Detective D.D. Warren, this was a short book but loved it all the same a reminder of the movie Clue but with a whole different twist to it. I could have probably finished this the same day but I ended up putting it down lol.

    For a quick read, it’s interesting enough but lacked the usual flare that I’ve come to expect from Gardner.

    Very entertaining & interesting from beginning to end. My Grandma was big on Mysteries, they've never been on my favorite genre•list, this one was short so if I didn't like it, not a lot of time wasted! Not an issue, I really liked it!

    D.D. Warren has just had the weirdest day. As she sits home with her husband, she has to recount the story to him. If she hadn’t just lived it, she wasn’t sure she’d believe it. A man walked into the station claiming to be there to report a death, his. He claimed he wasn’t alive anymore but was dead. Obviously suffering from mental issues, they called his house & sent him home in the car his wife sent for him. A few hours later, they were called to the house where he was really dead this time. It’s truly remarkable how Lisa Gardner comes up with her story lines. This was quite hard to believe. It was interesting to read a little more of the process with the entire investigation taking place in one day. I’m not sure if it was the delivery (DD recounting everything to the husband as if it was a story) or the fast pace of the plot but I wasn’t able to get as emotionally tied to the story as I usually can with her longer books. This was still a very good story, just not what I was expecting.

    This is a fun, cozy short read. Although, it did not read like a "short" story. It had everything to make a "great" story. Entertaining characters, a good storyline with plenty of twists, and a satisfying ending. The more I get to know of D. D.; the more I love her. She is very intelligent. Additionally, I learned something new. The main character who dies suffered from Cotard's syndrome, a neurological disorder.Per Wiki "Cotard delusion is a rare mental illness in which the affected person holds the delusional belief that they are already dead, do not exist, are putrefying, or have lost their blood or internal organs. Statistical analysis of a hundred-patient cohort indicates that the denial of self-existence is a symptom present in 45% of the cases of Cotard's syndrome; yet, paradoxically, 55% of the patients present delusions of immortality. "I tried to piece together all of the puzzle pieces from the different characters but I was not as smart as D.D. The way the mystery all came together in the end did leave me with a few "ah, ha" moments. This short story is a nice one to get me ready for the next full length novel.

    I don't read a lot of short stories but this one caught my attention because it's by one of my favorite mystery authors and stars DD Warren - one of the best fiction detectives ever. Novellas like this are supposed to help fill the time before the next novel and I must admit after reading it, I just can't wait to read the new Lisa Gardner book - NEVER TELL due in February 2019.A man walked into police headquarters to tell them he was dead. Of course, he was really alive because he was standing there but a few hours after he left, the detectives got a call that he had actually died - really died! DD and her squad go to his mansion to investigate and meet up with a quirky bunch of characters. They have to determine why he previously thought he was dead and who was responsible for his ultimate death. The widow, the doctor and the servants are all suspects and its up to DD to figure out who is responsible despite lots of twists and turns along the way. It was a quick fun read that showcased DD Warren at her best. Now bring on NEVER TELL!Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.
