Life is unpredictable, the afterlife even worse. Thrust too early into death (only thirty-two!), Leo Cooper wrestles with the confusion of how things work on the other side. It's an impossible undertaking, especially because someone has made a grave mistake. Leo and his lifelong friend Morris have been sorted into the wrong eternal resting place. The Afterlife of the Birds has no silken sheets, no sumptuous banquets, and no avocado toast.
What's more, Leo's wife is missing. While the search is on, Longtoe, God of Perfection, is hell-bent on damning this determined duo (and all humans) to eternal suffering. How can they fight a god who is (by definition) perfect? How can they gain allies in an unfamiliar hereafter with an absurd set of rules? Leo and Morris had better solve that head-scratcher before all of humanity becomes doomed to a rather unpleasant fate."I didn't know there were so many gods until after I died.
I wish I'd read this book sooner." -Jane Austen "Death is the perfect escape plan, and so is this novel. Highly recommend."-William Shakespeare
