Following his savage murder in a London vicarage, Reverend Ulysses Drummond embarks on an epic odyssey in the afterlife, wrestling with his conscience and misguidedly spurning the obvious advantages of a free ticket to Paradise.
His ten-year-old son, Henry, is left to muddle through life, encountering school bullies, big-hearted benefactors and cold-blooded killers on his passage to adulthood. Will Henry find love, success and happiness in his life - or will he suffer the cruel and agonising death that was foretold?

Due to his being dead for the past decade, Ulysses Drummond could only look on in horror as his son was doused in petrol. PROLOGUE

This is a new author for me. I stumbled across his work by chance when I saw this title promoted by Amazon. I loved the title and decided I had to read the book. I barely even glanced at the blurb. I really loved The Fish That Climbed a Tree. I'm a book freak and read a lot and can honestly say I haven't read anything quite like this before, unique, engaging from the first line and entertaining. The book is the perfect blend of comedy and darkness. It touches on some dark subject matter but there are some comic gold moments as well. I can't recommend this enough.
