Summary
A firecracker of a novel by the Booker-shortlisted author of A Fraction of the Whole—a scathingly funny and affecting tale of life, death, love and the questionable existence of God.
Angus Mooney is not happy—he's been murdered, cut off in the prime of his life. He feels humiliated—he's never even believed in an afterlife. (How wrong he'd been). He's confused—death has provided more questions than answers. And he desperately misses his audacious and fiery wife, Gracie, who's expecting their first child.
The only upside is that Angus has found a way to see what his murderer is up to and how Gracie is faring. The downside: Gracie and his murderer are getting uncomfortably close, and a worldwide pandemic means the afterlife is about to get very crowded....

Cute angle on life and death
Well read pacy story. Not earth shatteringly amazing but easy listening and narrator has pleasant voice bringing characters into audible/visual focus.
Heard many theories and read much about the afterlife (David Eagleman’s Tales of the Afterlife etc). So this story is not hugely original but definitely well put together and worth a listen.

Amazing!
A future classic, this foray into the afterlife was funny, moving and thought-provoking. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
