Just a fabulous book. Ideal to give as a present to someone you would like to nudge along a bit.
It is a story about a young girl who gets murdered, by a serial murderer. She tells the story from heaven, but this is one of the best. The author really knows her stuff. Even a case of possession later in the book, is in my view, credible. Not sure if it would be "allowed", but it is credible. This book has nearly sold 1m copies. Lets hope it keeps going. Also surprising to me, is no attempt to weave in reincarnation. Most of this sort of book do seem to do that, but not a peep here. A welcome change.
Much love,
Geoff.
