Defending Angels has every element needed that makes for a great story
2 Dec 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Imagine this: You are new in town, ready to take on your late uncle's law firm, and totally gung ho about it. You finally find a place to set up your temporary office. Unfortunately it is in the middle of a cemetery that has only murderers buried in it, and your landlady seems a bit eccentric but hey! At least the rent is cheap. You finally hire two intelligent assistants who seem to be relatively sane. Then voila, you receive that first call from someone (and not just any someone, mind you, but one of the biggest and meanest tycoons in the state) who wants you to represent them. The only problem is, when you immediately call him back, you find out that he's been dead for hours. What would you think?
Brianna Winston Beaufort (but please call her "Bree") thinks it is nothing more than a practical joke brought on by her ex-boyfriend. It just HAS to be. Either that, or everyone around her is completely crazy or it is just her that is losing it.
Bree has to figure things out before she goes mad with frustration. Who are these people she has surrounded herself with? Why are they telling her to take on dead people as clients? Why have her nightmares been coming back? And why is that painting of the cormorant coming to life? What secrets had her uncle been keeping from her about his clientèle? She begins to think that maybe it would be best if she did not bother taking on her uncle's firm.
Defending Angels has every element needed that makes for a great story. The words will captivate you while the story will haunt you. There were so many elements to this story that simply cannot be expressed without giving away too many details. Simply put this is a book that is going on my "must keep" pile.

Angels and Demons
15 Feb 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am happy to have found a new cozy mystery. This one was written by Mary Stanton (Claudia Bishop). I have enjoyed her "Hemlock Falls" and "Casebooks of Dr. McKenzie" mysteries. Now we have a new series called "Beaufort & Company".
This mystery centers around a woman lawyer named, Brianna Winston-Beaufort. Bree inherits her uncle's law practice in Savannah, Georgia.
Little does she know, her first client will be a ghost. This ghost is a tough cookie. He wants answers as to who killed him and he wants the answers NOW!
Bree has her hands full with some "unusual helpers" on the job ,to get the case solved.
With the "company of angels" by her side, she delvers the goods.
As Shakespeare wrote, "There are more things in heaven and Earth".
This mystery definitely shows us more. An interesting concept to be sure.
I am looking forward to the next installment in this mystery series.

Setting up the series
2 July 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The author gets three stars for a good beginning, fun characters, and an intriguing situation. She loses two for the rushed ending and for having a heroine willing to continue day after day after day without asking these mysterious other characters what in the world is going on! Why does she accept the astonishingly thin story about why a job applicant replaces the one she expected? Why, when events play out as they do (trying to avoid spoilers here) does the character even bother with his story? What about the dog? What about the painting? Will I need a lawyer in the afterlife?
I'll definitely read the next book, because the first was loads of fun, but I hope the author will do some explaining!
