    Cover is creepy because of the weeping angel statue (al la Dr. Who). The new character, Mrs. Billingsley, appears to be a nice spash of comedy. Good clues throughout, however, the manner in which the murder was accomplised is implied rather than explained in the wrap-up.

    I finished the third book in the Beaufort and Company series at the Halifax airport yesterday during our 3-hour layover. Bree Winston-Beaufort, Esq., has accompanied her gorgeous sister Antonia to an estate auction. While inspecting a desk, she is surprised to hear someone ask her to help him. Since the Russell O'Rourke, owner of the desk had recently committed suicide, she assumed that the voice belonged to him, and set out to help his spirit "pass through". Upon investigation, though, the death seems more and more like a murder, and Bree and her otherworldly staff intend to prove it. When there is another murder with a similar m.o., this becomes easier.Bree's deductive process is described fairly completely, but the conclusion seemed a little abrupt to me. It felt as though there should have been one more expository chapter before the last one, but perhaps that was because I felt somewhat distracted while reading.The concept of a legal advocate for the dead is an interesting one, and Ms. Stanton's legal explorations are interesting. I don't know enough about the technicalities of law to comment on their accuracy, but they certainly seem so, to me. That most of her staff, including the three dogs, Sasha, Miles and Belli, exist on both the temporal plane and the celestial one is a concept I'd love to see explored in more detail.

    This is such a neat favorite of mine series. It's a great example of the paranormal mystery genre. I love the characters, the premise of a human working with angels to help people who might have been wrongly put in the nether reaches of the afterlife. This one had a lot of twists and turns as much as it showed the evolution of Bree in her new role as an advocate. She enjoys what she's doing, even if it causes sleepless nights and haunted law offices. There is not as much scary stuff as in the past two books in the series. The first one scared the bejeezus out of me, the second one eased up and this one is only a weensy bit scarey. It's more about the relationship Bree has with her sister and her angels and her clients. I really enjoyed this read and can't wait til the next one, ANGEL'S VERDICT, out next year.Five angel beans....

    Brianna Winston-Beaufort is called on once again to to take on a client from the great beyond. Russell O'Rourke committed suicide in quite an elaborate way ... but apparently, his death was not exactly what it seemed. Then a person who had suspicions about O'Rourke's death is killed and winds up (literally) at Bree's doorstep. With her celestial pals, both human and canine, Bree tries to get to the bottom of a very complicated case. I like straightforward, tidy stories. Overly complicated stories with too-large casts, extraneous subplots and too many off-the-wall elements are not my cup of tea. Although I have enjoyed the first two books in this series, I thought Avenging Angels was not quite up to Ms. Stanton's high standard. I'm still a fan.
