$app = new \Slim\Slim();

$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=rest_trial', 'uname', 'passwd');
$db = new NotORM($pdo);

//DELETE method
$app->delete("/deletebook/:id", function ($id) use($app, $db) {
//$app->get("/deletebook/:id", function ($id) use($app, $db) {
$app->response()->header("Content-Type", "application/json");
$book = $db->books()->where("id", $id);
if ($book->fetch()) {
    $result = $book->delete();
    echo "Book deleted successfully";

If you look in the network tab of your browser console you can check if the method of your request is actually DELETE.

Some browsers do not support PUT and DELETE http request method. Slim provide a method for that:

"Unfortunately, modern browsers do not provide native support for HTTP DELETE requests. To work around this limitation, ensure your HTML form’s method attribute is “post”, then add a method override parameter to your HTML form like this:"

<form action="/books/1" method="post">
    ... other form fields here...
    <input type="hidden" name="_METHOD" value="DELETE"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Delete Book"/>
</form>

"If you are using Backbone.js or a command-line HTTP client, you may also override the HTTP method by using the X-HTTP-Method-Override header."
