In San Francisco, the souls of the dead are mysteriously disappearing—and you know that can’t be good—in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore’s delightfully funny sequel to A Dirty Job. Read by Fisher Stevens.

Something really strange is happening in the City by the Bay. People are dying, but their souls are not being collected. Someone—or something—is stealing them and no one knows where they are going, or why, but it has something to do with that big orange bridge. Death Merchant Charlie Asher is just as flummoxed as everyone else. He’s trapped in the body of a fourteen-inch-tall “meat puppet” waiting for his Buddhist nun girlfriend, Audrey, to find him a suitable new body to play host.

To get to the bottom of this abomination, a motley crew of heroes will band together: the seven-foot-tall death merchant Minty Fresh; retired policeman turned bookseller Alphonse Rivera; the Emperor of San Francisco and his dogs, Bummer and Lazarus; and Lily, the former Goth girl. Now if only they can get little Sophie to stop babbling about the coming battle for the very soul of humankind . . .

I am a die hard Christopher Moore fan, and this sequel was long awaited. The first book, "A Dirty Job", was my first book by the author and hooked me! The characters are amazing, story line and plot are fantastic. I, personally, love the language as it's used - but I am ok with profanity... if you are not.. probably not the book or author for you.

I have listened to this twice now, and read it once. Everytime I find a new gem of some sort to laugh hysterically over.

To sum it up, take a chance in something different, or if you're a Moore fan already, it will 'rock your stripey socks'.

I love this book!

I'm a big fan of Christopher Moore and this title doesn't disappoint. Fisher Stevens might be my new favorite reader, the man nails it every time.

Fisher Stevens Rocks!

I loved "A dirty job" and had really high hopes for the sequel but I found it really lacking. the climax was extremely anti-climactic. Most of the story was very dry. I understood what Christopher was trying to relay with the mini stories but they were way to long and dry and didn't really advance the story line affectively. I would love to see a third book, but lessons need to be learned from this one.

High hopes, crash landing
