Celestial Buffet and Other Morsels of Murder — Susan Dunlap

The Celestial Buffet is the first collection of short mystery stories by the Anthony-Award winning author of the Jill Smith and Kiernan O'Shaughnessy detective tales. Among the 18 stories are five cases for cop Jill Smith and one for private-eye O'Shaughnessy, as well as two of the most imaginative detective stories ever written -- tales of The Celestial Detective who investigates crimes in the afterlife. Death, he explains, is not all it's cracked up to be. The book also contains an introduction and prefaces to each story by the author and a Susan Dunlap checklist.
