The Oxenbridge King by Christine Paice

Richard III is trapped in the afterlife, waiting with his guide, Raven, for an angel to take his soul to Heaven. Though he’s been between worlds for hundreds of years, up in the real world it’s 2013 and Molly Stern has a broken heart from losing her father and a recent breakup. Leaving London, Molly goes home to seek solace from her Aunt Peggy and Uncle Frank in Oxenbridge.

But there are strange noises in the basement of her childhood house and nothing feels right, not even between Peggy and Frank. When the angel encounters Molly – and Raven at last finds the angel – life and the afterlife meet, with surprising and unexpected consequences.
