Delaney Reed is the chief officer in the town of Ordinary where God's willingly set aside their powers for a time so they can enjoy holidays as mortals. And as mortals they can be killed, which brings a lot of problems.

Delaney is not the brightest and best detective there is, but this book lives more from its funny characters than from the crime mystery. Some moments are quite funny, Death is a specially nice character and Delaney's sisters are enjoyable too. It's a nice book to take your mind out of everyday life and enjoy a break.
