Dinner for the Dead by Chris Morrow

Michael was a coward during the last moments of his life and ironically that cowardice caused his death, but that incident drives him to make different choices as a ghost. Dinner for the Dead starts out lightly but will grab your interest with the first few sentences, and you will gobble it up in one sitting. Mr. Morrow has Michael tell his own story, which makes it personal, as if Michael is right there talking to you. He cuts himself no slack as he vividly depicts events he is sharing with you.

Transitions between past and present really work. The closing line is a real smile-jerker, tying the end back to the beginning. Not just entertaining, this well-written story offers one explanation for the dreadful, heartless murders that you hear about in the news and the possibility of having an after-life opportunity to redeem yourself.
