THE DEAD DETECTIVE AGENCY is free for Kindle right now: August 1st through the 4th.

This is a re-release, so you might have read it, but if you haven't yet met Seamus, Dead Detective, and if you have a sense of humor about the Afterlife, you might enjoy this series (follow-ups are Dead for the Money and Dead for the Show. I'm working on Dead to Get Ready--and Go.)
One reviewer made me giggle when she said though SHE liked the book, she wouldn't want her children to read it and conclude that this is the way heaven actually is.
Really? Can you say FICTION?
I had fun with what we're taught about the Afterlife as I wrote this mystery, which another reviewer says is "Sam Spade meets Quantam Leap." Not sure about that, since there isn't much sci-fi stuff here, but I think you'll enjoy the book, which won Best Mystery of 2012.
Here are some snippets of the reviews, since Amazon hasn't yet put the old version (published in 2011 with the female close up and looking outward) together with the new one (published recently, with the female looking at the semi-transparent man).
"The story and writing proceed at a furious, breathtaking pace, and
when we finally come to the end of our voyage, it's with deep regret,
as if saying bon voyage to a dear friend we have known and loved for
years." New York Journal of Books, Reviewer Sam Millar.
"A
fun concept of afterlife and well-developed characters makes this an
entertaining page turner. I am certainly looking forward to the next in
the series. Would be good material for the big screen. A refreshingly
new idea." Amazon Reader
"Loved the whole idea for this book. I
enjoyed the comparisons about what we think of as ghosts as actually
the dead using our bodies. Can't wait to read the next one!" Amazon Reader
