Dead is Better

Charles Stone is pretty sure he's dead. He has bullet holes in his chest, he can float, no one can see him, and there's a ghostly dog that seems to be his new companion. Unable to interact with the world of the living other than watching and listening, he and the dog—who he names Rose—have nothing to do and all the time in the world to do it. When Charles and Rose go searching for what led to Charles's death, they uncover a killer who is raking in millions of dollars on the deaths of his victims. But what difference does it make that a ghost can identify the murderer? And what does the dog have to do with all of this?

“Jo Perry’s DEAD IS BETTER is a fascinating literary gem you’ll read not just once or even twice, but return to the rest of your days, for it explores the greatest mystery of all with wit, wisdom, and understanding.” —Jeffrey Siger
