Want an easy read Christmas fantasy? This is it. I always appreciate the co-writing of mom and daughter Higgins Clark and this is another winner. Their writings seem to complement each other and keep your attention. In this novel the hero (?) is being kept waiting by the powers-that-be in a pre-heaven waiting room. He is not wisked right in because of his poor and selfish treatment of others during his life on earth. But now, he is being given a chance to redeem himself by helping someone back on earth. He is not told "who" or "what", and is then dropped off at a Times Square ice rink to do a "good deed." You may be reminded of "It's a Wonderful Life", but the Clark's filled the story out with suspense and danger. It a great read.

This crime/ fantasy Christmas novel is easy to read, entertaining, and has a funny ending. It's not A Hallmark Christmas story. Hurray! No fabulously decorationed houses or glorious parties. The story is touching. It reminded me a little of It's A Wonderful Life( movie). Sterling, who has been in the waiting room in heaven for over 40 years gets a chance to prove himself. He helps unite a little girl with her father and grandmother. He ends up tricking two Albanian gangster brothers. I'll say no more. This novel is a fun read for Christmas.
