It is what is called paranormal cozy mystery. I had liked the premise and asked for it from the author and she was kind enough to send it to me.
Bree is trying to make both ends meet in order to run the law firm Beaufort and Company. As she takes up cases for those who are already dead, there isn't any cash flow. So she takes up the case of a spoilt rich girl who has snatched mioney from a girl scout selling cookies. Everyone is outraged by it and Bree knows her name is going to be mud.
Then she is confronted by the ghost of that millionaire who needs her help to clear his name. According to him, he did not commit suicide but was murdered. Now Bree is doubly determined to find out the secrets carefully hidden by all. Lindsay is made out to be the troublesome teenager with no love lost for her. She is disliked by her family and friends. Bree thinks everyone needs a second chance and so does Lindsay.
With spirits as her aids, she goes about her work, digging into the deeply buried secrets in order to save Lindsay and her dad's from burning in hell for eternity. Bree is fair and she knows what to do even when confronted by spooky ghosts. Angel's Advocate is a breezy read. Comfortable and with a good ending. For that inbetween read, it works very well.

I'm not sure I've ever heard a book called a paranormal cozy mystery. Sounds intriguing.
I do like the sound of this. Paranormal cozy mystery sounds right up my street.
I read another review of this book and from the sounds of that one and yours this is one that I would love to read!!
Sounds like a perfect book to read in between tougher books.
I like the thought of a paranormal cozy mystery. :-)
Apparently I'm not the only one but I'm a new fan of the phrase paranormal cozy. How fun! I am just getting into mysteries and supernatural stories. This sounds neat.
