Another nice book in the Angels series.
This time, it was not only Brees job, which pushed Bree to her physical and mental Borders, but also an attack which lands her in an hospital.
We can see a big development in her relationship to Sam Hunter, but I was a bit disappointed that we only got to see so little of Sam in this novel- I could use some more Bree+Sam time!
Also, even if we got to see abit more of what happens during an angelstrial, I was disappointed once again by the lack More...

Bree and EB receive a visit from elderly actress Justine Coville, who says that she'd like to update her will. But before she leaves, she admits that she thinks that someone is trying to injure her on the set of Bitter Tide, a movie being made about Savannah's infamous 1950s B-actress Haydee Quinn.
Justine is playing the role of Consuelo Bulloch, and is using one of Consuelo's brooches to help her feel a connection to the character. But when Bree touches the brooch, she senses that Cons More...

I love this series, "A Beaufort & Company Mystery." However, this particular book was a bit confusing for me. It became clear at the ending but at times was a little hard for me to follow.
Lawyer/Sleuth Bree runs two law practices, one a 'temporal' or run of the mill practice for the citizens of Savannah, GA. The other, is a 'celestial' practice for those that have passed on and want a hearing for better position in either H--- or Heaven. The Celestial practice being the more More...

Angel’s Verdict is Mary Stanton’s fourth book in the Beaufort & Company series. You don’t need to read the books in order, but I would recommend going back and starting at the beginning.
Celestial advocate Brianna Winston-Beaufort is handling appeals for condemned souls in Savannah, Georgia (the most haunted city in the south). She has unconventional employees – angels.
Eager to get back to practicing law in the land of the living, Bree was pleased to be hired by actress Justine More...

Brianna Winston-Beaufort has inherited her great-uncle Franklin's law practice in Savannah, GA. Brianna is now a celestial advocate handling appeals for condmned souls. But she would rather practice convential law for the living.
In 1950s Savannah, Haydee O'Malley was brutally murdered. Her manager-lover was convicted and executed, but there were questions as to his guilt. Justine Coville is an elderly actress in town for a cameo role in a made-for-tv movie based on the murder. More...

When an author is an expert at writing murder, mystery and mahem it is easy to forget just how talented they are. Mary Stanton is one such author. I was so pleased to finally get the latest Beaufort and Company installment, Angel's Verdict and it was such a good read.

T received this book as a gift from the author as a result of goodreads.
The autographed copy came in the mail and I recently finished it.
I enjoyed it. Now I want to read the others in the Beaufort and Co series. I like the characters and the story is a fast read and great escapist fun. What a cool premise, that the dead need lawyers.

I don't normally leap into the middle of a series, but this one had been passed on to me and I needed something lightweight to read. Lightweight it is, but the supernatural world it creates has the potential to be something more, so I plan to read more in the series.

This was, I think, the best book in the series so far. The first few were plagued by an awkwardness, as the author made the protagonist find her place in the series plot in a piecemeal, frustrating fashion that often made me want to toss the book across the room, but I'm glad I stuck with this series. This book has her in control of what's going on around her, but having to decide if the impact on her life is worth it. I really look forward to the next book in the series.A

This wasn't the best in the series but I really liked it. Bree has a lot on her plate and I think she handles it pretty well. There were a few surprises in the story so it was good reading. Mary Stanton is also known as Claudia Bishop and I enjoy all her series.

Well, that didn't take long to read...will keep following this series as I like the setting and the temporal/celestial parallel caseload, and the characters are all entertaining and well-done.

The clues were there, but subtly enough that I didn't guess until it was revealed. I love the characters, with southern charm but steely resolve.

Haiti Quinn's murder resonates with Bree and company. Audiobook. Good read.

Beaufort & Company, #4. I love this series...the idea of a lawyer for the dead is really an interesting concept and then to give her a temporal client that is also looking for the truth to the same mystery but from a different angle makes the story even better.
I learn a bit more about Bree and her heritage and some back story to go along with it. I also found that she is more involved with the dead then she was in the past.
Very well written, kept me turning the pages w More...

Another in this really fun series that combines a bit of horror, some mystery, some good detective work and law, some angels, and some good lessons about getting what's coming to you -- both good and bad. The only problem with this one was that it just seemed a little short -- I wanted more.

4th in the series. Can be read as a stand alone, but chracter development will be lost. Great mystery with lots of twists and turns. i am looking forward to book 5's release. If you like a good murder mystery with a paranormal twist, you will enjoy this series.
