Delightfully Dead
In a posher part of Knighting Hill, an accident waits to happen. An open hole, a young socialite, and a lack of concentration make for a dangerous mixture.
Meet Wanda Woe. A young woman so wrapped in her personal bubble, she fails to spot the danger lurking behind her large, mobile phone until it is too late.
One minute she has an appointment, the next, she’s dead. Gone. In the blink of an eye. Her only companion is her guardian angel, who is not the least bit surprised her life has been cut short. He was expecting it, after all.
Who is going to miss her? Most people would be concerned about leaving their loved ones. Her only concern is her Jimmy Choo shoe and missed lunch. No amount of money is going to save her now… as her fate awaits.
What will her future have in store? Who has the power to determine what will happen next?

This story grabs you right from the beginning. Wanda is a selfish, indulgent rich young woman who must trade her old ways to have the chance to live a new life. The cast of characters is wonderful. From a guardian angel, who is a bit of a trickster, to the housekeeper, who has no pity on Wanda when she agrees to change. Snarky and a bit of a bully, the housekeeper pushes Wanda to be the new person she is meant to be. Out with all her riches-they are to be used to help the poor. Even if it's to dress up the scarecrows in jewels and finery. And if that's not enough, there is a murder to solve. And in a bit of romance and time-travel and you've got a great book. A must-read to the last page to tie up all the ends. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

A drastic change of life for Wanda! And I do mean a 180 degree turn!
The book is in the tricky first person present tense, but that worked really well. A great start, which drew me in, and I loved the whole storyline. Some awesome twists, especially those regarding Ama, and that was well done! This author’s storytelling skills are good, really good!
The story was interesting and very exciting! A pleasant read. With some intriguing twists! Nice to follow Wanda on her journey in becoming a better person, a caring person.

This story had a very unusual concept...what if you had died, but then were able to come back? That exact thing happened to Wanda Woe. She died in an accident but doesn't quite make it to the pearly gates before she gets the chance to 'go back.' The catch is that she will be helping to figure out what happened to others who've died. With this 2nd chance, she has also changed her ways by being more helpful and nicer to others. As I stated in the beginning, this was unlike many other cozy stories which made the storyline unique and very interesting to see how everything played out.
