review 1: This one is more of a stretch. Bree, young attorney for the living and the dead, smart but inexperienced finds evidence missed by the NYPD and an obsessed homicide detective that a suicide was actually a murder. In the previous books when Bree found evidence it felt a little more realistic. I don't mind suspending my disbelief but there comes a point where it comes crashing back down again and won't be denied. The nitpick I had with the previous books was that the author leaves us behind at the door to the heavenly courtroom. This time we enter and get a glimpse of the beginning of the trail but then we're shut back out again and key bits are repeated by Bree as she relives it. Also the whole subplot was too bizarre and disconnected from the flow of the story. Sudde... morenly we're dealing with something that is thousands of years old and no one knows anything about it and no further explanation is given. I think the author would be served better by focusing more on the supernatural aspects of her story and less on Bree one-upping the police. She hints at things that could be very interesting but most of the stories are taken up by standard interviewing and clue-hunting activities.
review 2: Mary Stanton did such a great job with this book. It's the third on in the series, and it hasn't lost any steam. I am certainly going to have to check out some of her other books.In this book Bree is contacted by a spirit while at an auction with her sister Anonia. However when she goes to the records department has nothing about the spirit filing for an apeal. This is just the first in a series of unexplainable events that are about to unfold. So, not only are you (the reader) in the dark, even the cast of character's in the book are unsure of what is going on and why. less
