This is an amusing twist on the murder mystery. As the story opens a dead mystery writer is at the pearly gates of heaven riding on their own personal cloud. When speaking with the gate keeper he finds out he was murdered. This upsets him beyond words as he wants to know who did it? The gate keeper then arranges for him to go back and relive his last day in order to find out who killed him. When the writer gets back he finds that everyone there has reason to kill him. Then he tries to arrange to figure out just who.
The most amusing thing is that the gate keeper in heaven says that all mystery writers wind up going to heaven, though he doesn't know why. There is a wry sense of humor in that for the mystery writer as this is left an open question. As for who did the murder, well my vote goes to Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke) but that is left an open question as well in this one.
