Brianna "Bree" Winston-Beaufort needs living and paying clients for her law firm, Stanton's Beaufort & Company. Bree usually represents the lost souls of the afterlife in helping them to appeal their cases to a higher court but these are not paying customers and Bree is in desperate need of a retainer from a living soul.

When an over-privileged, seventeen-year-old, high school cheerleader steals one-hundred-sixty-five dollars and twenty-six cents from an eight-year-old Girl Scout Bree decides to represent the unremorseful Lindsay Chandler. It is going to be quite a trick to make this cheerleader look sympathetic.

Bree soon discovers that Lindsay's deceased father, billionaire Probert Chandler, needs representing in the afterlife. He had died in a car accident four months earlier but his ghost appears to let Bree know that his death was no accident. Now Bree is caught between representing the living and the dead.

As Bree investigates father and daughter she digs up all kinds of family dysfunction and meets with some rather harrowing experiences. Will Bree with her angelic staff be able to solve the mysteries surrounding both father and daughter or will she run into a dead-end?

Angel's Advocate is a charming and enchanting paranormal cozy mystery. With its magnificent plot and twists and turns it holds your attention from beginning to end. A must read for paranormal cozy mystery readers. Angel's Advocate, the second release in Mary Stanton's Beaufort & Company mystery series, is her thirty-fourth novel.
