This is a sharp detective novel in breezy writing style, eminently readable. The book moves quickly, I had it done in no time because it really drew me in. The premise is interesting. How does one solve a murder when the earthly police can't - or won't. I had one problem with it, something maybe no one else would mind. I know it's a playful book, and there it succeeds very well, I have to give it credit, but I kept being drawn up short by the picture the author drew of heaven. Hate and sexual attraction, flirting and swearing, resentments and a cast of characters I would never associate with Heaven's realm. I know in a book like this, basically an old-fashioned earthy mystery, heaven is just part of the setting, but if you are religious and think this might appeal to your spiritual sensibilities, be prepared for a jolt.
