Angel's Advocate: The Baryon Review of Books
24 June 2009Bree Winston-Beaufort has a law practice in Savannah, the most haunted city in America. Her office is in the middle of the cemetery and she has no lack of clients wanting an appeal on their sentence. Her only problem is that the dead don’t pay very well.
When a local, well to do teenager steals the cookie money from a Girl Scout and zooms off in her Hummer, Bree takes the case as a favor to her aunt. Lindsey Chandler seems to be a normal rebellious teenager whose father died in a car wreck a few months earlier, but that is only one of her problems.
Bree ends up with Probert Chandler as a client as well. He says it was murder and wants to appeal his sentence to the ninth circle of hell. He was the owner of a chain of discount drug stores and partner in a drug research corporation. As Bree works to get Lindsey a reduced sentence, she becomes aware of drugs being stolen from the company, but no police reports were ever filed.
Bree discovers the history behind the family, the corporation, the business partners, and other things as she works to solve this case in spite of some evil spirits out to stop her.
This is another fabulous entry in the paranormal Beaufort & Company series. It’s a very enjoyable and fast paced novel that is filled with unconventional characters. In case you are not familiar with Mary Stanton, she also writes as Claudia Bishop. I don’t know whether to use the terms quaint and charming are the right words to use for this novel, but that’s what it is. If you missed the first book in the series, Defending Angels, be sure and pick it up as well. This is definitely one of the top ten books of the year.
