Heart-warming and beautiful at times, heavy-handed and predictable at others. The second half of the book lost its way a bit.

Wallace, unaccepting of his sudden death is forced to come to terms with the person he was in life before crossing over into what lies beyond. Taking place in a tea shop, you meet an array of characters both alive and dead; from those who are grieving and lost, expert ghosts, a failed service dog, a manipulative ‘Medium’, and The Manager. Under the Whispering Door is a witty, sarcastic, and touching literary fantasy that will have you enthralled from the very first page.
“The first time you share tea, you are a stranger. The second time you share tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share tea, you become family.”
