    Brianna Winston-Beaufort is a singular mystery heroine . A lawyer in Savannah, Georgie – reputed to be the most haunted city in America – she has two parallel practices (from two different offices) that occasionally intersect. One is a run-of-the-mill “temporal” practice; in the other she pleads cases in the “celestial court,” saving clients from one of the circles of hell if she can. In Angel’s Verdict, a temporal client is Justine Coville, an aging actress hired to play the role of a woman (Consuela Bulloch) who may or may not have murdered a young woman in 1950s Savannah. The victim, actress Haydee Quinn, was murdered and a man she knew was executed for the crime. But doubts have been swirling around ever since. Bree winds up hip-deep in the case of an old murder, putting herself in peril. She has the help of her celestial helpers, who are amazingly efficient at helping her get to the truth.I’ve enjoyed this series from the start. I love the idea that Bree’s celestial practice is located in a Murderer’s Cemetery at 666 Angelus – a street that, not surprisingly, you’ll not find on a map of Savannah. Angel’s Verdict is well written, with an intriguing premise, an interesting plot -- a satisfying yet quick read.

    Brianna Winston-Beaufort has taken over the family law practice which includes being the celestial advocate for those that have died and are appealing their soul's disposition. At the start Bree is presented with an earthly client who wishes to change her will but it turns out that she is connected to a celestial case regarding a murder that occurred 50+ years ago. Bree is made aware of the effected souls and the issues and she and her heavenly staff have to discover what really happened long ago so that her celestial client can finally rest.This is a fun concept with the celestial ramifications (heaven, hell, etc) of a soul rather than the legal effects of a criminal conviction. Having the angels around when no one else sees them is entertaining to say the least.

    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

    Synopsis: An aging actress is in danger from a spirit-possessed young actress. While this temporal issue helps pay the bills for her law practice, Bree is also representing a soul upon who the movie is partially based. Review: There seemed to be parts of this book that were missing. However, the story was sound and particularly the character of Dent was well written.

    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 Consuelo wants her help.Not sure what she can do to help either of them, Bree takes both cases, and soon discovers that they have even more in common than she'd first thought.The concept that when Bree takes over her late Uncle Franklin's law practice, she also accepts proprietorship of his celestial business of defending condemned souls is unique. Stanton has created two believable, intertwined worlds which feel fresh and intriguing after four books, and leave the reader wanting to know more.*FTC Full Disclosure: Many thanks to the publisher, who sent me a copy of the book for review purposes.
