Review: “Avenging Angels”
Avenging Angels is the third in the Beaufort & Company series by Mary Stanton. If you haven’t read this series, you’re seriously missing something.
Ms. Stanton has created a world where angels walk among us. In her world, a team of angels assists in a profession that isn’t known for its connection to heaven — the legal one, specifically lawyers.
The premise of the series has to do with the idea of purgatory and the levels of Hell. When someone dies, especially someone who may have been less than completely ethical when alive, they are tried for their sins.
Bree is getting the hang of her unique clientel and the special abilities of her staff.
In this installment, Bree is trying to determine if Russell O’Rourke’s suicide was, well, suicide. Both the widow and the originial police officer who investigated the suicide believe O’Rourke was murdered. Thanks to a psychic connection, Bree believes she has to find the truth.
As I said before, this is the third in the Beaufort and Company series and Ms. Stanton has finished creating her world and building in the backstory. This series is really living up to all the expectations I had for it. However, while the story is a stand-alone, readers who haven’t read the first two books (or haven’t read them lately) will be lost and confused. Do yourself a favor and pick up the first two before grabbing this one. And you should grab this one.
Blessings!
