Description

A fabulously funny celestial crime caper, full of wit, warmth and heart. Helen Lederer

How do you solve your own murder when youre already dead
Purgatory (noun):
1. Where the dead are sent to atone.
2. A place of suffering or torment.
3. A youth hostel where the occupants play Scrabble and the mattresses are paper thin.

When Dave wakes up in his own personal purgatory (St Ives Youth Hostel circa 1992), hes shocked to discover hes dead. And worse he was murdered.

Heaven doesnt know who did it so with the help of two rogue angels, Dave must uncover the truth.

As divine forces from both sides start to play the game, can Dave get out of this alive Or at the very least, with his soul intact

An utterly gripping and page-turning mystery for fans of Murder Before Evensong and The Appeal from the winner of the Comedy Women in Print Unpublished Prize!.
