Tempest Landry is mistakenly killed by police in harlem,on reaching St Peter at heaven's gates his sins are such he must go to hell, he refuses + returns to earth in new body where joshua angel has to persuade him to accept his sins to save order whilst basel bob tries to draw him to hell. Philosophical, interesting + funny a gr8 addition to 2019's rds

Mehso-so

I really loved the concept of this book, but it left me with too many questions. What was Tempest doing in this "new life"? Why this specific angel? Tempest wasn't a well rounded character. All flaws no redeeming quality. The book was too short for the story he wanted to tell.
