In the latest release by Mary Stanton, we get a paranormal glance at the funny, and sometimes dangerous, side of lawyering for the Celestial Courts.

When a 17-year-old girl decides to mug a Girl Scout selling cookies, the old Savannah family network kicks in. Bree Beaufort, is coerced by her aunt to take on the case as a family favor (and Bree could use the client). Through twists and turns in the "Cookie Mugger" case, Bree gets tangled in a web where she finds herself with the real client, the teen girl's dead father who may have been falsely condemned to one of the lowest planes of Hell.

Working with Angels as your backup should be a walk in the park. Not for Bree, as she thinks to herself: "In the past twenty-four hours, I've retained another dead soul as a client, dealt with a kid so screwed up she torments dogs, and discovered that, I'm being followed by a pair of corpses who've jumped through the barricades between this world and the next so they can take me on a permanent, highly unpleasant tropical vacation."

I giggled out loud as I met some of the quirky characters and shuddered at some of the spooky scenes, so it's easy to get involved in this book. The upsets in the plot kept me intrigued through to a surprising end. This new twist on mystery is sure to be a fun series to follow.

When I finished this book I went to look for the next immediately. Mary Stanton is Claudia Bishop of the Hemlock Falls series real name. I did find that Winged Justice will be forcoming, hopefully by this time next year.
