Angel's Advocate: Richmond Times-Dispatch
24 June 2009“Angels and ministers of grace defend us!” cried Hamlet when he saw his father’s ghost.
And angels and ministers of grace are out to defend the living and the dead in “Angel’s Advocate” (304 pages, Berkley Prime Crime, $7.99), the second installment in Mary Stanton’s Beaufort & Company series.Brianna “Bree” Winston-Beaufort is a living lawyer whose Savannah practice is assisted by angels. Their mission: defend the dead whose judgment in the afterlife has brought them, shall we say, down.
But this time, Bree has a living client, too: Lindsey Chandler, a rich brat who has stolen a child’s proceeds from the sale of Girl Scout cookies. And then there’s Lindsey’s father, the late Probert Chandler, killed in an apparent car wreck and appealing to the celestial court his sentence to the ninth circle of Hell.
The proceedings are highly original and plain fun, as Bree and her angelic colleagues wrap both cases up successfully.
One warning: Before picking up “Angel’s Advocate,” you should read “Defending Angels,” the first book in the series, to see how Bree got started in her unearthly law practice.
