Brianna Winston-Beaufort has two law practices. The "temporal" office, the one that pays the bills, is located in an office building on Savannah's Bay Street. The celestial office is located in a house on Angelus Street, and can only be found by Bree and the Company who work there with her, and perhaps the occasional client.
The staff and clients of the Angelus office are not living humans. The staff are what is commonly known as angels, while the clients are the souls of the ...more

The 5th Novel in the series of Beaufort & Co. mystery series, readable as a standalone but if the previous ones are read it will bring greater knowledge of the characters.

On this installment, she finds herself bound to represent her aunt and her soon to be husband, which the whole family feels is usi...more

This series started out likeable, but annoying because the main character was kept in the dark and it didn't seem to occur to her to demand answers about her fate. But that has largely been taken care of in each of the subsequent books and this has become one of my favourite series. This book had a great plot, which I found really interesting, and it was intricate enough that I didn't guess the murderer until I was supposed to. I really hope Ms. Stanton continues with this series, I've come t...more

If you enjoy a good mystery with a paranormal edge, Mary Stanton’s the Beaufort & Company mysteries are the books to read. Angel Condemned is a tasty little morsel giving the reader a little more insight into the personal life of Attorney to the Dead, Bree Beaufort and her family. In this episode, Bree’s Aunt Cissy is engaged to Proper White, an art dealer. Prosper is being sued and Cissy will not abide anyone other than Bree handling his case. However, Prosper has many secrets that will soon co...more
Another great outing by Mary Stanton. Highly recommend the Beaufort & Company Mysteries. Start with the first book and you will be hooked and read on through them all--highly addictive!
I'm getting a little tired of series books lately. I haven't read a stand alone in quite a while. This was ok, it didn't have a lot of the previous characters in it. I'm sure I'll grab the next one.
The premise is interesting, but so far kinda lackluster. This latest had me wondering why I continue to by the series. Maybe I won't next time.

I give this book a 7/10. I loved how it kept me guessing through everything. The storyline is just AMAZING, and I plan on buying the first four books of this series as soon as I can :)
Oh the tangled web, when trying to deceive others.
Sigh. A year to the next one.
Likes: Easy read. Paranormal without vampires or werewolves
Dislikes: Got a little confusing in some parts, but it all tied together nicely in the end.

Mary Stanton has created a real winner with her Beaufort & Co. series! Brianna Winston-Beaufort is a lawyer, in both the mortal world as well as the litigious temporal world between Heaven and Hell. With each progressive book in the series the characters become more endearing, and the stories more intriguing. I absolutely love them! Great job Mary!!!!
Loved this newest entry in the Beaufort & Company mystery series. Bree is once again working on both celestial and temporal cases. This time they are connected by an ancient artifact and someone special. A good mystery and more details on the celestial hierarchy. A bittersweet ending leaves the reader wanting more.
A great series - recommended.
I really like this series. We are finding more and more out about Bree and how the Celestial Sphere works. I hope there is more to come in this series!
Another winner in the Angel series!
