Under The Whispering Door

 Under The Whispering Door was written by T.J. Klune. This book is a fantasy fiction novel. Wallace is the main character. The book starts out with Wallace attending his own funeral. Wallace was a workaholic lawyer. Very few people attended his funeral and unkind words were said about him. It was true that Wallace was a jerk during his lifetime. No one can see or hear Wallace. Suddenly a woman arrives at the funeral and starts speaking to him. She can see and hear him. She wants him to travel with her to meet Hugo who will help him pass over. Wallace does travel with her. She takes him to a tea shop. She and Hugo work at the tea shop selling cups of tea and scones. Also at the house is Hugo's father who, like Wallace, is dead. Hugo's father's dog is there too and the dog is dead. Customers cannot see nor hear the dead people. Wallace spends some weeks at the tea shop. He is influenced by Hugo and the other tea shop regulars. Wallace's personality and behavior change. He becomes a nice person. Sometimes this book was hilarious. At other times it was emotional and sentimental. Although I don't think this book would be for everyone, I enjoyed it.
