If you like mysteries involving the paranormal, mayhem and mortals this book is for you! Mary Stanton has given readers everything they would want in a book – the surprises are never ending.

Bree Winston-Beaufort takes over a law practice of a relative and thinks she is very lucky in finding an inexpensive office to use with her staff. Little does she know what she is getting into. Her first client is a detested billionaire, Benjamin Skinner, who is nasty, mean and, oh, did I say he was dead? He wants Bree to find out who killed him and why.

She takes her trusty investigator Striker to find anyone who could say that Skinner was an “ok” person. She didn’t count on talking to ghosts and angels. During all her escapades she thinks she is going crazy! She has to learn about angel courts, talking to ghosts and watching out for things that go bump in the night.

Mary Stanton has done a wonderful job of capturing your attention from page one till the very last page of “Angel’s Advocate.” Her characters are lively, her descriptions are vivid and you will not be able to put this book down. It’s almost as if you wanted to solve the cases yourself.
