Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead are just passing through.

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead.

And when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he’s definitely dead.

But even in death he’s not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days.

Hilarious, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a life spent at the office and a death spent building a home.

Nice but verging on saccharine

It's another TJ Klune book. I didn't like it as much as the House in the Cerulean Sea. The protagonist is supposed to be "bad" but not-really-a-spoiler, redeems himself. Except unlike Cerulean, where there's a slow change of someone discovering themselves (albeit with a lot of foreshadowing), in this one we have one scene of Wallace being bad, then a few chapters of being dead and confused, and then he's nice.
