Angel's Advocate

The second book in the Beaufort & Company series was just as entertaining as the first!

The characters - quirky and charming every last one of them! - get further developed in this second installment, particularly Bree and her angelic employees, whom we get to know much better in this case.

The case itself is interesting and challenging, with lots of clues and opportunities to try to figure out what's going on and who did what to whom. As with the first book, Bree is working on two parallel, but connected cases: the "live" client is the spoiled, bratty daughter of a wealthy man who died several months ago. The "celestial" client is the rich, dead father, who by all accounts was deserving of the sentence he's been given in the 9th circle of incarceration by the Celestial Court. But he's requested a re-consideration, because he says all the facts weren't considered.

Bree has to figure out how the cases are connected, get the daughter to behave long enough to avoid jail, and determine what, if any, mitigating circumstances in the father's case might get him moved to a somewhat less painful area of "the other side" to serve his sentence.

This time around, in addition to her celestial employees, Bree acquires some new canine guardians in addition to Sasha who's still her most loyal protector and guide.

A good mystery, good legal aspects and the interesting twist of the Celestial Court to add spice. Well worth a read!
